Do you not see that progressive creationism and its theological counterpart, evolutionary theism, “pull God down out of the supernatural” dimension into the natural dimension where He and His Divine Powers are within reach of mankind and their philosophies, science, et al?

But what on earth does this have to do with TXnMA??? He's not doing any of that.

What is this evolutionary creationism business? I haven't had that preached to me lately (or ever), so I wonder what that is.

No faithful lover of God would dream of trying to "pull Him down" to "'our' [human] level." What sense does it make to say that our Father is "reducible" to the (finite, imperfect) thoughts/ideas of His [human] son, who was made in His image?

I have a very strong suspicion that my dear brother in Christ, TXnMA, understands that such a thing would be complete heresy, and wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Why do you impute so much "bad stuff" to him?

“What is this evolutionary creationism business? “

It’s only theoreticians like Dobszhansky and Hugh Ross who describe evolutionary transformism as progressive creationism. At any rate, billions of years of evolutionary transformism (antithesis) is according to what man said (i.e., Teilhard, Michael Dowd, Ken Wilber, Geering, etc) instead of six instantaneous acts/days of creation (thesis) according to what God Said. That is what it is about: thesis vs antithesis.
