Once again, not just Biology that the Creationists have in their sights, but Astronomy, Archeology, Paleontology, Physics,Geology, etc, etc. As well as I.D.ists seeking to overturn the fundamental system of scientific inquiry and replace it with a system that is tantamount to Astrology according to one of its main proponents own admission.
Reality is not the opposite of spirituality. The fundamentals about God’s universe are not in conflict with HIM being the creator of said universe.
Isn’t the position of most Christians and Western Civilization proponents that it was the very Christian ideal of believing in a ordered universe governed by natural laws that laid the intellectual foundation that enabled Christian and Jewish Scientists to be among the first and best in the world? Why abandon the great intellectual tradition of such Scientists and Theologians such as Thomas Aquinas for blind unreasoning adherence to the literal interpretation of a poetic translation of the account God gave to man for the creation of the universe?

As I said before, nothing has changed. Creationists still believe that God created an ordered universe governed by natural laws. What Humphreys is doing is using the scientific method to reconstruct and test the historical claims of the Bible. It’s that simple.
