Evolution and Creation

The ELS college at Mankato present both creationism and evolution, but only prefers creationism. Also, a couple LCMS Concordia Colleges have the same view. Moreover, Issues Etc has Riddlebarger and other Reformed professors on their show a lot, and they believe in theistic evolution, just like their main seminary does.

Stances on creation vs evolution:

Bethany: 4 - Both views are presented as possible explanations for the development of life forms, but Creation is favored.

Westminster Seminary: 5 - God created all life forms, but they appeared in the general sequence and time frame suggested by evolutionist theory.

No, what is a bit more bothersome to me is how Dowd says he was convinced of evolution by conservative Christians who believed Darwinian evolution is compatible with the Christian faith because, as they said, "all truth is God's truth." Sadly, I hear this sort of muddled apologetic coming from Greg Koukl, whom I happen to like, Kim Riddlebarger and Ken Samples, and of course Hugh Ross.
