Evolution is a Friend of Creation, says Evangelical Professor

I generally steer clear of Evolution vs. Creation debates. Not that I'm not interested in the resolution of the apparent paradox between science and Genesis, but too often the debate turns rancourous and divisive. So I wouldn't be surprised if evangelical Professor Richard Colling has encountered a fair share of rancour. Unfortunately, at least in this article in the Christian Post, the results of these encounters seems to overshadow the rest of an otherwise important discussion: Namely whether Evolution is a Friend of Creation as he proposes in his new book Random Designer: Created from Chaos to Connect with Creator. From the reviews on Amazon, it sounds like a more scientific version of the creation story that Neo tells in Brian McLaren's book The Story We Find Ourselves In: Further Adventures of a New Kind of Christian. I'd be interested to hear from other's who might have read Collings' book.
