It is likely, I misunderstood you, sorry.
The most popular evangelical theologian of our generation - you classify him as a philosopher? If you say so.
I don't see him as most popular, well liked ok. He calls himself a Philosopher. Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr. to Rector & Chair of Philosophy and Theology

Nope. Matter cannot produce intelligence. That wouldn't make sense. Sentience must be innate to matter, as I hold. Matter can awaken to FULL sentience (there are different levels of sentience) but it cannot CREATE sentience, it cannot BECOME sentient.
Agreed.
An immutable God became man? Please.
Reiterating a contradiction doesn't resolve it.
It is not a contradiction. Smile.
What's hilarious is your pretending there is no contradiction here. How can an immutably holy God freely choose to become unholy?
Jesus was not unholy Luke 1:35 also Lamb without blemish or spot.
Luke 1:35
Easy-to-Read Version
35 The angel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power of the Most High God will cover you.
The baby will be holy and will be called the Son of God.
So you were lying when you claimed that all your beliefs came from the Word?
No, all Theology includes some philosophy (how to think) and scripture.
Matthew 10:28
“Don’t be afraid of people. They can kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is God, the one who can send the body and the
soul to be destroyed in hell.
1 Corinthians 6:19
You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit that you received from God and that lives in you. You don’t own yourselves.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Living by Faith
That is why we never give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day.
2 Corinthians 5
Easy-to-Read Version
5
We know that our body—the tent we live in here on earth—will be destroyed. But when that happens, God will have a home for us to live in. It will not be the kind of home people build here. It will be a home in heaven that will continue forever. 2 But now we are tired of
this body. We want God to give us our heavenly home. 3 It will clothe us and we will not be naked. 4 While
we live in this tent, we have burdens and so we complain. I don’t mean that
we want to remove this tent, but we want to be
clothed with our heavenly home. Then this body that dies will be covered with life. 5 This is what God himself made us for. And he has given us the Spirit as the first payment to guarantee the life to come.
6 So we always have confidence. We know that while we live in this
body, we are away from the Lord. 7 We live by what we believe will happen, not by what we can see. 8 So I say that we have confidence. And we really want to be away from this
body and be at home with the Lord. 9 Our only goal is to always please the Lord, whether we are living here in this body or there with him. 10 We must all stand before Christ to be judged. Everyone will get what they should. They will be paid for whatever they did—good or bad—when
they lived in this earthly body.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Dear friends, we have these promises from God. So we should make ourselves pure—
free from anything that makes our body or our soul unclean. Our respect for God should make us try to be completely holy in the way we live.
Galatians 2:20
So I am not the one living now—it is Christ living in me.
I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God. He is the one who loved me and gave himself to save me.
Ephesians 2:14
Christ is the reason we are now at peace. He made us Jews and you who are not Jews one people. We were separated by a wall of hate that stood between us, but Christ broke down that wall.
By giving his own body,
Philippians 3:21
He will change our humble bodies and make them like his own glorious body. Christ can do this by his power, with which he is able to rule everything.
Colossians 1:22
But now he has made you his friends again. He did this by
the death Christ suffered while he was in his body. He did it so that he could present you to himself as people who are holy, blameless, and without anything that would make you guilty before him.
Hebrews 10
Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus Christ—the Only Sacrifice We Need
10 The law gave us only an unclear picture of the good things coming in the future. The law is not a perfect picture of the real things. The law tells people to offer the same sacrifices every year. Those who come to worship God continue to offer those sacrifices. But the law can never make them perfect. 2 If the law could make people perfect, those sacrifices would have already stopped. They would already be clean from their sins, and they would not still feel guilty. 3 But that’s not what happens. Their sacrifices make them remember their sins every year, 4 because it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 So when Christ came into the world he said,
“You don’t want sacrifices and offerings,
but
you have prepared a body for me.
6 You are not pleased with the sacrifices of animals killed and burned
or with offerings to take away sins.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am, God.
It is written about me in the book of the law.
I have come to do what you want.’”
8 Christ first said, “You don’t want sacrifices and offerings. You are not pleased with animals killed and burned or with sacrifices to take away sin.” (These are all sacrifices that the law commands.) 9 Then he said, “Here I am, God. I have come to do what you want.” So God ends that first system of sacrifices and starts his new way. 10 Jesus Christ did the things God wanted him to do. And because of that, we are made holy through the sacrifice of Christ’s body. Christ made that sacrifice one time—enough for all time.
11 Every day the priests stand and do their religious service. Again and again they offer the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But Christ offered only one sacrifice for sins, and that sacrifice is good for all time. Then he sat down at the right side of God. 13 And now Christ waits there for his enemies to be put under his power. 14 With one sacrifice Christ made his people perfect forever. They are the ones who are being made holy.
15 The Holy Spirit also tells us about this. First he says,
16 “This is the agreement I will make
with my people in the future, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts.
I will write my laws in their minds.”
17 Then he says,
“I will forget their sins
and never again remember the evil they have done.”
18 And after everything is forgiven, there is no more need for a sacrifice to pay for sins.
Come Near to God
19 And so, brothers and sisters, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place.[c] We can do this without fear because of the blood sacrifice of Jesus. 20 We enter through a new way that Jesus opened for us. It is a living way that leads through the curtain—
Christ’s body. 21 And we have a great priest who rules the house of God. 22 Sprinkled with the blood of Christ, our hearts have been made free from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. So come near to God with a sincere heart, full of confidence because of our faith in Christ. 23 We must hold on to the hope we have, never hesitating to tell people about it. We can trust God to do what he promised.
James 2:26
A person’s body that does not have a spirit is dead. It is the same with faith—faith that does nothing is dead!
1 Peter 2:24
Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross. He did this so that we would stop living for sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you were healed.
1 Peter 4:1
Changed Lives
Christ suffered while he was in his body. So you should strengthen yourselves with the same kind of thinking Christ had. The one who accepts suffering in this life has clearly decided to stop sinning.
2 Peter 1:14
I know that I must soon leave this body. Our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that.
