I don’t know if anyone is interested, but currently there is an online debate of Theistic Evolution verse Young Earth Creationism. This is the introduction to the debate:
Can Darwin be saved? Can evolution be compatible with faith in Jesus? Or should Genesis be read as a literal account of our origins? The debate began in the nineteenth century, but has proven fit to survive to this day in churches, universities, school boards, and neighborhoods across America.
Now, it evolves further in our Beliefnet Blogalogue with Ken Ham and Karl Giberson. Ham is the co-founder of the Creation Museum and president of Answers in Genesis. Karl Giberson is the director of the Forum on Faith and Science at Gordon College and former editor of Science and Spirit. Join them for a lively discussion on Christian faith and modern science.
I have read the first five responses and must say that it is well worth the read which ever side you land on. For those who have no idea what this debate is all about, this is also good way to be introduced to it by seeing both sides of the argument to see which one conforms to the bible the most. You can find the debate at the following site. http://blog.beliefnet.com/blogalogue/creation-vs-evolution/.
P.S. If your name is Mike Bennett, I think you would enjoy this.
!! You are right! I wish I had known about this sooner. I am a very big fan of Karl Giberson
He spoke at Westmont last year and I was very impressed.
Once all this craziness settles down I will give it a good look. Can’t wait.
How are you doing?

Currently in my philosophy class we are talking about Aquinas and Augustine. Interestingly enough their views of faith and reason reflect the views of Ken and Karl. I’m going to try to look into it more deeply and see if I can articulate what they are saying and write about. It really is amazing, the arguments are almost identical.
