And the creationists get craftier still. Congratulations must be given to MM for not linking one of the Usual Suspect links (AiG, ICR, etc). This one hides their organization a bit better, but it is part of "Telling the Truth." Boy, has there ever been a more misleading organization name? From their website:
"Telling the Truth is an ongoing Internet-based strategy pioneered by Christian Leadership Ministries (CLM), designed to pool the best of Christian scholarship and propel it to a global audience. Working together, CLM and our WebPartners present unique resources to a lost and confused world. From homosexuality to origins to theology and apologetics--millions of Internet users are confronted with thousands of messages from a biblical worldview. Through Telling the Truth sites, the gospel takes its rightful place among thought-provoking ideas related to today's burning issues."
Fair enough. Just wondering MM, do you agree with Walter L. Bradley's quote below? Sounds like evolution to me (since evolution doesnt pretend to answer the origins question):
It should be noted that the modern term "species" is foreign to the context of the Bible. Genesis tells us that God created every animal according to its own "kind." It is probable that there were far fewer "kinds" at the time of Creation than there are "species" today. Progressive Creationist Walter Bradley agrees that "God created the major types of animals and plant life and then used process to develop the tremendous variety of life forms we observe today." [Walter L. Bradley, Hermeneutics, Inerrancy and the Bible, edited by Earl Radmacher and Robert Preus (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House, 1984), p. 290 -- emphasis added]

Actually, you misquoted the good Dr. He is only attributed with the following quote:
"God created the major types of animals and plant life and then used process to develop the tremendous variety of life forms we observe today."
The quote that precludes this one was from the website you mined the quote from.
But to answer your question, yes, I agree with the Dr.'s statement. The "variety" of life forms we see today can be attributed to the processes the Creator put in place that allow life forms to adapt and overcome....I see this as microevolution. The built-in ability to adapt and overcome, utlilizing the genetic makeup the life form was born with.
