Hi, admins if this isn't the correct place for this I apologize in advanced. I'm wondering if any one could tell me if WLC is a Creationist or Theist Evolutionist? Can you provide me with any examples from his own words? I've come up sort on several Google searches.

I guess I should elaborate, since he darts around the issue a lot and it also took me a long time to figure out what he is on about. WLC agrees that evolution is the best naturalistic explanation for the diversity of species. He believes in punctuated creationism, which is a strange beast of a doctrine where God interjects in the evolutionary process at certain times (rather than constantly) to bring about changes in species. But the overall framework is still evolution.

Yea, he's a Theistic Evolutionist. Graduate from Wheaton and Biola and just a holy terror debating Daniel Dennet and a bunch of other famous atheists. Still he just doesn't take Genesis one literally. He quipped once that Young Earth Creationists don't take Genesis 1 literally because they don't believe the sun was created on the fourth day. Actually many of them do take that literally and as a matter of fact, the sun isn't said to have been created on the fourth day.

Any hoot, yea, he's a Theistic Evolutionist of some kind. He's still a Creationist in every way that matters to me.

Grace and peace,
Mark
