Stephen, your observation cuts both ways. Those of us who accept evolution
are frequently puzzled by the question of just what it is that a PC objects
to about evolution. The young earth creationist (the honest YEC anyway) is
convinced that the creation account and the genealogies ought to be read in
such a way as to exclude the possibility of development over billions of
years instead of thousands. I disagree with that position, but at least I
understand the intensity of such an individual's belief. You and I have a
disagreement over the mechanisms God uses to govern nature -- although we
agree that He is totally in control moment by moment. It seems to me --
and I realize you may disagree emphatically -- that it is not God's
intention to give us a detailed description of the methods He uses in His
governance in Scripture. Rather He seems more concerned with teling us Who
He is and how we can have a right relationship with Him. We seem to be
looking at the world through quite different paradigms, and we ought to
give some attention to what those paradigms are -- if that's possible :-).
