Hi Jim,
Well, your comment is a bit of a cartoon . . . it's a little more
complicated than that. Nevertheless, for those interested in the latest
Van Till paper on this subject see:

"Basil, Augustine, and the Doctrine of Creation's Functional Integrity" in
Science and Christian Belief, April 1996, Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 21-38.

I just finished reading it. It is well written, a bit presentist in its
historiography, and may prove surprizing to many. Despite one's views
on origins, Van Till's works are worth interacting with.

Blessings,
Denis
