BioLogos held a workshop at Gordon College last week – well attended and well worth the time from what I hear. Some 50-70 people were in attendance, mostly college professors. Several regular readers of this blog were at the workshop.  One who was there told me that it was a huge success, with many good conversations throughout. I was traveling, at science conferences myself, or might have looked into attending.  (If I hadn’t been traveling I would have noted this: Hawks Beat Flyers to Win Stanley Cup<\/a><\/b><\/i>, and this: Chicago Celebrates Stanley Cup<\/a><\/b><\/i>. Even Wrigley paid homage: Blackhawks Bring Their Cup Party to Wrigley<\/a><\/b><\/i>.  World Cup, World Series take a back seat … nothing compared to a ‘real’ sport and prize.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

But back on topic… <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Rachel Held Evans – who recently published a book Evolving in Monkey Town<\/a><\/b><\/i> was among those who attended. I have a copy of the book compliments of Zondervan and will post on it once I’ve read it. Rachel posted comments on the conference on her blog<\/a> and on the BioLogos blog Science and the Sacred yesterday 13 Things I Learned at the BioLogos Conference<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Among her 13:<\/p>\n

\n

It is possible to talk about the origins debate with an attitude of respect and humility.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Science professors (particularly at Christian colleges) are desperate to find good ways to counsel students whose faith is challenged by the scientific data they encounter in the classroom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

At the heart of the tension between science and Scripture is what Pete Enns calls “genre misidentification.”  [See my earlier post today.<\/i>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The question “where do you draw the line?” is not one that only evolutionary creationists have to answer. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“Evolutionary creationists” is a preferred term to “theistic evolutionists.” [I agree<\/i>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Both evolutionary creationists and proponents of intelligent design believe that God is the creator of the universe. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The smartest people are the ones who are humbled by how little they know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
