Re the followup question about “whether/how particular subgroups of believers can be helped by GAE”:
I don’t disagree, and in fact I would say that is obvious. The question is whether the “small subset” is so small as to be insignificant, and the answer turns completely on how someone judges the significance of those people’s decisions and struggles. The GAE removes one barrier between “high view of scripture” and “ancient human animal ancestry.” I do assume that there are people who benefit from having this barrier removed but I don’t know how many of these people exist. The benefits include one less “problem” posed by human natural history, and also (potentially more important) the sense of belonging/encouragement one feels when finding other believers who are serious about the bible and serious about science (and, I guess we must add, serious about truth-telling). That latter benefit is not unique to GAE and is surely a benefit that PS and especially BioLogos can offer to believers who have integrity but who feel isolated. Same goes, I suspect, for J&JW, separate from evolution.
