I agree with you John, Fuz’s position of accepting that the data point to common descent, but wondering if there could be another genomics model that would fit the data and allow for shared design is confusing. Perhaps he will change his mind and start fully affirming evolution if he could square evolution with some theological constraints, such as a historic Adam and Eve. The only other philosophical difficulty he seems to have with evolution is the idea that evolution is random/unguided, but as discussed above, Josh and Fuz agreed that idea is not actually what the science requires, its more of difficulty in how the science is discussed.
There may be other constraints for him, as well, but those were the ones discussed in the video.
It does sound like he and others at RTB or at least people within their broader scholars network are willing to continue engaging with the GAE model, as discussed with Josh around the 1 hour mark, and people with broader views, such as GAE would be accepted in the RTB scholars network. During this video, Fuz did not mention other scientific questions about evolution that he has, perhaps that would be detailed more in the book. @swamidass does the book go into places where RTB thinks that the current data do not fit with a theory of evolution, or is the challenge with evolution for them more with theology than with science?
