I think where you and I disagree most strongly on all this is that you
appear to see nefarious motivations (i.e. your "bait & switch" comment)
on the part of the loyal opposition and I do not.
I agree with you that the web site could be improved in this area to
differentiate between "Darwinism" as an invalid philosophy and other
definitions.
On another subject, I just checked out of the Iliff library a new book by
Michael Corey called "Evolution and the Problem of Natural Evil." Have
you (or anyone here) seen it and have comments. After reading just the
first chapter last night, I think it is going to be a significant
contribution to the dialog. I have noted that Van Till and Griffin are
both commented upon -- however I have not read those sections carefully
yet.
