It was just a little reading between the lines, and Lance has acknowledged now that he is an evolutionist, I guess. He wasn't real clear about it, but I think it is perhaps safe to assume that he is. What about you, Jonathan? Do you believe in the Genesis creation account or are you an evolutionist? People operate by paradigms. Are you familiar with the philosopher Thomas Khun? Accepting certain paradigms sets them up to accept certain ideas that others would not. Humanism and the evolutionist paradigm encourages the viewpoint that the Incarnation is just the next step in the evolutionary tree, and that it would have happened even if the problem of sin never existed. Why am I not surprised that the man who caused the coining of the word "dunce" first articulated the viewpoint? :-) That was interesting, Jonathan. Thanks for sharing about it. And no, it did not escape me that this man lived long before Darwin and evolutionary theory became popular. Peace be with you.
