Obviously, that's a big difference from the majority of evangelicals, and I've updated to post to correct the mistake.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, and thanks also for the link to your blog, which looks very interesting.Dan Messierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507792242176546579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920271329589936347.post-54891881024475926112008-05-23T16:15:00.000-04:002008-05-23T16:15:00.000-04:00Hi Dan, That's not the case for the majority of ev...Hi Dan, <BR/><I>That's not the case for the majority of evangelicals, who believe in God-guided evolution, says Shah.</I> <BR/>Wow. Do you know if he has some stats to back that up? I find that hard to believe .. even though I'd like to believe it. I am a Evangelical who sees no conflict between biological evolution & the Christian faith, and would love to think that there are lots of us out there. But I think we are, in fact, very much in the minority. When pressed most Evangelicals would probably be agnostic over the age of the earth, or support some type of OEC (rather than YEC), but very few would accept evolution. <BR/><BR/>Right now I'm running a series on "Evangelicals, Evolution, and Academics" on my blog with participation from 7 other Evangelicals who accept evolutionary science. For more info, check out the series <A HREF="http://evanevodialogue.blogspot.com/2008/05/evangelicals-evolution-and-academics.html" REL="nofollow">Introduction</A>.
