Miller not a theistic evolutionist
Going off topic a bit -
In the context of the Finding Darwin's God topic, I managed to present a series of misimpressions of Miller's position (D'oh).
I think Miller keeps his theism and evolution seperate. Thus, he is not a theistic evolutionist.
At message 31 of the above cited, MrHambre says:
quote:
I admire the way he takes great pains to distance himself from 'theistic evolutionists,' since he won't ascribe intention to the admittedly hit-or-miss history of life on earth.
I agree with MrHambre. I also agree with you, that Behe is a theistic evolutionist. But Behe's "theistic" part of his evolution views still seems pretty small. In my view, Behe is an evolutionist with just a tinge of creationist in him.
I wonder if Behe would "ascribe intention to the admittedly hit-or-miss history of life on earth"?

Behe / Creationist relationship
Does Behe push his ideas on creationists, or are creationists trying to make something out of Behe's ideas, beyond anything Behe actually says?
I suspect the later.
ID is termed "God of the gaps" or "God in the details". Even IF God was in the details, that still leaves a lot of evolution to be free running.
