How would I summarize the last several months' worth of exchanges?
Like this:

SJ> Since TE/ECs virtually rule out God's
> supernatural intervention in creation, I would not regard their
> position as "thoroughly Christian".

LH> TEs/ECs in general do not _a_priori_ "rule out" God's supernatural
> intervention in creation. After studying nature and scripture, they
> conclude that he probably didn't supernaturally intervene
> (beyond normal providential overisght) in biological history, and
> that this is the best assumption from which to move forward
> scientifically and theologically.
> That is an important distinction.

SJ'> That isn't an important distinction. You effectively
> "rule out" supernatural intervention.

LH'> Yes, it is an important distinction.

SJ''> No it isn't.
LH''> Yes it is.
SJ'''> No it isn't.
LH'''> Yes it is.
SJ''''> No it isn't.
LH''''> Yes it is.
SJ'''''> No it isn't.

If my summary is accurate, then perhaps the time has come for me
to stop repeating myself on this point.
