   These guys are the same type of Biblical literalists that they have   
   among the ID perps.

   QUOTE:   
   BioLogos believes that science is limited to explaining the natural   
   world, and that supernatural events like miracles are part of reality too.

   This comes after the quote about evolutionary creationism that I   
   originally put up.   
      
   QUOTE:   
   We believe that God acts purposefully in creation, just as he does in   
   our lives, and that he continues to actively uphold and sustain creation.   
   END QUOTE:   
      
   Tweekers acting purposefully in creation that they include life as part   
   of the creation.  The reason to believe exIDiots also believe that their   
   god is still working on the creation.

   I just took these reposts right out of this post, so the formating may   
   be messed up.   
      
   You ran from the las quotes and started your lame denial.  These guys   
   are tweekers (They believe that their god created with miracles).  They   
   are no different than Behe in his claim that his god tweeked the   
   flagellum into existence.  They are claiming that their god made humans   
   in his own image, and that miracles were involved.  Behe never says how   
   his god did it, but these guys do (supernatural miracles).  The closest   
   Behe ever came to that, was his "puffs of smoke" admission.  All they   
   have are Behe's denial type claims to support their beliefs.  Probably   
   all of the ID perps also believe that their god made man in his own   
   image, and their human exceptionalism stupidity is the result of that   
   belief.  The Discovery Institute made human exceptionalism a full   
   departement of it's own at one point.   
      
   I just looked it up and it is still claimed to be The Center on Human   
   Exceptionalism.   
   https://humanexceptionalism.center/   
      
   It is junk that the ID perps claim supports intelligent design of   
   humans.  They believe that human exceptionalism supports their religious   
   beliefs of their god making man in his own image.  The ID perps use the   
   arguments to claim that there are things that biological evolution   
   cannot do.   
      
   You should have never run from the material and started lying.  Claiming   
   that you want me to requote the material is just stupid when it is still   
   in this post.
