"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story [of the big bang] ends like a bad dream. For the past three hundred years, scientists have scaled the mountain of ignorance and as they pull themselves over the final rock, they are greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

Here's a ORIGIN MODELS CATEGORIZATION by Dr. Gary Chiang. He provides a summary of the 5 theories of origin.

1: Atheistic evolutionism (naturalistic evolutionism)

2: Deistic evolutionism

3: Theistic evolutionism

4: Old Earth Creationism

4a: The Gap Theory

4b: The Day/Age Theory

5: Young Earth, Recent creationism (Scientific creationism)

I am, as you may already know, an adherant to the last category.

Which are you? Is there another theory? Are Chiang's descriptions adequate?

Examples, please. I'm not aware of a theologian ever comiong up with anything.
