[asa] Greg Boyd's Theodicy of Natural Evil

Seemingly at random :-) I stumbled today onto Gregory Boyd's blog and
website. Boyd is a controversial evangelical megachurch pastor who
identifies with open theism (and is refreshingly blunt about evangelicals
and American politics). Apparently he recently was at a science-theology
conference at Eastern Nazarene University, which included some luminaries
such as Polkinghorne. He (Boyd) is arguing for a theodicy of natural evil
based on a primoridial angelic fall, which involves Satan in the distortion
of nature, leading up to and including the fall of humanity. Here is Boyd's
blog post on his theory:

as
well as a post on his conversation with Westmont College biology prof. Jeff
Schloss:

Has anyone heard of this theory before?
