@Faizal_Ali (CC: @swamidass ):
Joshua has only agreed (thus far) to say he has not taken the GAE out of the PS.org mission.
He has so far declined all other invitations to discuss how an energetic group of non-theist Evolutionists can develop and sustain a sense of trust and “peace” with Christians Creationists… Creationists who have little choice but fixate on the atheist motivations of their correspondents (because there are so few theological discussions here embracing God’s use of evolution to create humans).
Regardless of how unpersuasive my appeals have been (apparently EXTREMELY so) … the pro-Evolution Christian audience continues to vote with their feet. I can only join them.
In fact, it has dawned on me that of all the millions of pro-Evolution Christians available, there is only non-atheist me who feels betrayed by the lack of support to have a safe place where Christians can discuss GAE with other Christians. And I am a Unitarian!
I think William Lane Craig holds the answer I seek:
This 1+ hour video received 11,000+ views since 2021 and is PS.org’s 3rd highest rated video:
Since Michael Heiser’s death (whose 17 minute PS video garners over 123,000+ !!! views since 2022 !!!) , W.L.Craig is the best and greatest living example of who @swamidass wants to attract as supporters.
I am not in the running. But until such time W.L.Craig (or someone like him) becomes a regular participant I can only be a distraction.
