Mere Theistic Evolution

That Theistic Evolution book was downright bizarre. But it was an interesting moment in the development of the DI’s deepening commitment to hard-core fundamentalism. It seemed to me that the book pretty much failed at the starting gate: it sought to set out the idea that evolution was nasty and false, followed by a way of solving the problem through philosophical/theological bafflegab. The bafflegab might have had some use, if there’d been anything to the premise that evolution must be discarded. Without that, who cares what theologians think? It can have no bearing upon biology at all.
