Wilder-Smith in his book "The Creation of Life - A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution" pge 142, where he says "The irony of the siutuation is that the intense study of matter today has brought us to the position where we have to assume some sort of reality and direction outside (or pervading) matter."<BR/><BR/>Much Scripture ties together if one accepts a connectivity of the Creator with not only the spiritual but the matter of life and Colossians 1:17 bears testimony that God does this in Jesus Christ - the Word which became flesh and who holds (or sustains) all creation together.<BR/><BR/>This is in stark contrast to the pagan belief you have mentioned for the pagans have a disconnect rather than a connect between the spiritual and mattter.<BR/><BR/>Theistic Evolution fails on many fronts but one is its tendency to push God out there to remoteness or Deism. It makes it harder to have a close personal relationship with God. A path Anglicanism has gone down before.<BR/><BR/>What I have said is not Pantheism, for God is not only within the creation through His Word but also transcends the creation. Jesus Christ is the connect.<BR/><BR/>Neilneil moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381046852732380906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649826198961930411.post-87772510972422630682009-01-26T17:10:00.000+11:002009-01-26T17:10:00.000+11:00Wow, Eric. I need to really think about this. Its ...Wow, Eric. I need to really think about this. Its very deep stuff. But I think you've nailed TE all right! It's a rejection of the God who is there and leads to a god who is not there, but a long way off. We would have trouble making this god relate to his creation, and it even strains the incarnation. Man, the TEs don't know what they're undoing in what they think is a mental back water!!!Critiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237963162637891378noreply@blogger.com
