Sean McDowell has become a good friend. I’ve corresponded with Behe since 1998, so 20 years now.
Oppose is the wrong word. Unwilling to engage is the right way to put it.
He has a lot to lose. I imagine he is in legacy mode right now, but his argument is in shambles (Which Irreducible Complexity?). He is a very kind man, and he does well in dialogue for this reason. We would treat him very well here, but it would also likely expose the gaps in his work. I can see why he does not want to participate.

I wonder if Summit will ever warm up to me. Apologetics types have usually been very anti BioLogos, and pro-ID. But I’m not with BioLogos now, and becoming accepted by some of the heavy weights. Maybe it is worth asking about. What do you think they would say?
