The whole business of evolution as a philosophical option for a world and life view warrants our continuing attention. When considering the evidence pro and con, it is essential to include the biblical data for source information, especially Genesis 1–11. Evolution as an explanation for creation, in any event, can never be more than a theory, whereas Christians regard divine revelation as factual when it speaks about origins.
Be sure to take a close look at “The Chicago Call: An Appeal to Evangelicals,” discussed in our editorial section this issue (pages 27–29) and in our June 3 News (page 32). It appears to be calling for a better appreciation of Christianity’s rootage as over against the current existential subjectivism based largely on visceral reaction, hunches, and feelings.
