Do you think that this marks the beginning (or at least signals the
beginning) of a new era in the creationist/evolutionist discussion?
Those present on the 'creationist' side seem (to me at least) from
the 'new generation'--that is, people more concerned with mechanism
or 'intelligent input' into evolutionary processes than with whether
the earth is 6000 years old or not. All seem to be at least "old-earth
creationists", all seem to accept a long history for life on the
planet, Behe, at least, seems to accept common ancestry. (Does
Berlinski?) To those of you who have been to creation conferences
recently, does this sound right? Is there a sea change away from the
ICR-defined creationism of the seventies and eighties to a new
'intelligent design' quasi-theistic-evolution-but-with-more-teeth
standpoint? What is the reaction from ICR-style young-earth creationists
to this development?
