Critiquing Keller on Evolution/Creation
As most readers know, I’m also involved in another blog, a cooperative venture entitled Creation Without Compromise. That blog was the brainchild of Dr. Ted Van Raalte — together with Rev. Jim Witteveen and Jon Dykstra, we seek to “promote a biblical understanding of origins.” Since its inception, Creation Without Compromise has published several significant pieces addressing the challenges we face in upholding the biblical doctrine of creation. Some of the best ones, in my view, are collected on this page. Last week, Dr. Van Raalte began a series that has long been in the works, one that likely contains the most important material we’ve published so far. A number of years ago, Tim Keller wrote his “White Paper” for BioLogos. In case you’re not familiar with it, BioLogos is one of the foremost promoters of a synthesis between creation and evolution. Keller’s paper has been influential and is therefore worthy of a closer look. Does it stand up to biblical scrutiny? Does Keller present a good model for reconciling Scripture with the conclusions of so many scientists regarding origins?
