“The best way to deal w the protests is yes, the practical items of empathy and loving neighbor. More importantly on a foundational level we must call out men like Francis Collins and Tim Keller and Josh Swamidass who all remain, at the very least, accepting of the idea that natural evolutionary processes caused humankind to develop from a humanoid type of creature over millions of years.
Theistic evolution is essentially the atheistic mainstream version of darwinian survival of the fittest evolutionism in Christian garb.
The implications of believing this will be first of all this differs from the Genesis creation account. God is not with those who put His Word out for trusting mainstream science. Additionally, an implication related to these protests is that people are still in a process of natural evolution which suggests that some races may not be quite as evolved as others. Evolution is most definitely survival of the fittest where some are not quite as fit-the opposite of Gods economy where He says that He cares for the weak.
We are sinners. Give a human an inch and they will take a mile. If we believe that we are evolved creatures instead of humans special created in the image of God, then this adds fuel to the potential for the mass protest on race. There is no doubt in my mind. Men like Dr Keller seem to want to avoid appearing unintelligent by appealing to the legitimacy of groups like Biologos. But Scripture calls us to lay aside trusting our intelligence and trust God at His word and i believe in the possibility that until those who's voices are prominent influencers towards our churches repent from a theistic evolution stance, God will allow protests to persist w passion.”Read full review »
