"created evolution"? Is that not a bit of an oxymoron?

Why? It actually seems more elegant and God is nothing if not elegant.

Why is creative evolution any different than setting a toy boat free in a stream?

"Why is creative evolution any different than setting a toy boat free in a stream?"

I don't particularily want to debate with a "theistic" evolutionist. I will just say that the God I worship is a "hands on" God. He doesn't just turn things loose like a toy boat in a stream. That view is not just confined to origin of species. It is also my view of all occurences in the world - past, present, and future.

Theistic evolution is the belief that God is capable of making a pool shot that sinks all the balls after a series of collisions.

Literal creationism is the belief that God's skills are more along the lines of placing each ball in a pocket by hand.
