Yeah, for me, I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of theistic evolution because it
says God, who is an agent with purpose, is creating in a way in which there is no purpose.
To me, that idea is inherently contradictory.
But also, as a Christian, if you embrace theistic evolution, it does enormous amount of damage
to key ideas that the Old and the New Testament teach.
For example, human beings being special, being created to be in a special relationship with
the Creator.
You can't have human beings evolving and have that type of special relationship.
So the idea, to me, is a contradictory idea.
And there's scientific issues as well.
I mean, if you embrace theistic evolution, you still have the same scientific challenges
you would have if you embraced an atheistic form of evolution.
So it doesn't solve any problems.
It just allows you, I think, to be, quote unquote, more respectable with the scientific
community.
But I don't think our goal should be respectability.
Our goal should be to discover what is true and pursue truth.
