A quick post since I am heading out of town.
I am sure there are differences in what "Darwinian" means,
particularly in the case of Phillip Johnson who defines Darwinian in a
tautological sense where it is dysteleogical by definition. I would be
interested in hearing more.
Most importantly however, whatever the differences, the quote
indicates a prominent theologian who was far more comfortable from a
Christian viewpoint with evolution than Moorad seems to be (or than
intelligent design advocates).
