Evolution / Creation Debate: A Fresh Look

Evolution and Creation: A Fresh Look

An Evangelical Dialog on Evolution has an interesting article on the standard chart from the National Center for Science Education describing the different worldviews of the various positions regarding evolution and creation. They propose a more concise chart that seems to cover all the bases:

Simple is often better and this model includes only the most important categories of positions on creation & evolution. Distinguishing between the many different anti-evolution positions (as the Creationism/Evolution Continuum does) needlessly complicates the picture and is unnecessary when the salient point of discussion is evolution. One either accepts that the theory of evolution is correct or one doesn’t. Placing all the positions that do not accept evolution in a single “Non-evolutionary Creation” group means the model is easier to understand.
