Avondale College Arguing in Favor of Darwinian Evolution?
@Bob Helm:

We don’t need to overthrow; we need to coexist. The problem is that for many scientists, their philosophy coincides with their methodology (naturalistic). We on the other hand must come up with a way to test super-naturalistic concepts using methodological naturalism, which is somewhat tricky but not impossible.

Yes, lots of people are making significant efforts. Lots of people have been making significant efforts for a century and a half now. And, fifty years from now they will still be making significant efforts though our situation by then will likely be quite a bit worse.

With this approach however, if we play our cards right, there is a descent chance that in as little as five years we can introduce something that will completely change the game for us. So I apologize if I’ve offended in any way, but, at least in my opinion, this matters.

@Sean Pitman:

And this is precisely the problem: we mistake ‘open’ for ‘ easy.’

Think for a moment of the civil rights movement. That movement would not have succeeded under a monarchy or a dictatorship. However, just because it took place under a democracy did not mean that it would be successful without careful planning, hard work and sacrifice.

With virtually every other approach creationists have taken, scientists had legitimate concerns. With this approach there are no legitimate objections based on their own rules of engagement. Does that mean it will be easy? Definitely not. But if we don’t make the effort we have only ourselves to blame for the success of evolution and our inability to reach people with the gospel.
