I don't know. It seems to me what Philip Johnson said in the PBS debate
comes pretty close to that. If the Bible represents the only revelation we
have, it appears that Johnson wants it out of the debate.:

"Barry Lynn: "Do you believe there were dinosaurs on Noah's ark, at least
baby dinosaurs?"

Philip Johnson: "I don't make any reference to the Bible or Biblical
authority. I don't deal with that at all and I really don't have an
opinion about it for you."
. . .

Of the book D is for Dinosaur Barry Lynn asked: "Do you think that is good
Biology?

Phillip Johnson: "I do not. "In fact I have said on many occasions and
have urged persons in the conservative Christian community to put aside the
Bible issues and let us ask the question what is actually known from
scientific evidence as opposed to materialistic philosophy."
