Does biology need the theory that all life shares a common ancestor?

GJDS’s views make sense to me compared with the hard to pin down, sometimes near relativistic “open philosophy” approach of liberal Protestantism. GJDS’s reflect a more orthodox relationship between science and faith than most others here, that should be easy to admit. And that could be part of the problem too, don’t you think, Chris; the obvious moves towards unorthodoxy by ideologue evolutionists that GJDS indicated?

Please don’t forget that one of the BioLogos mods recently referred to the “theological constraints” of other Christians without acknowledging home denomination “theological constraints”. So yes, let us remember that terminology is used differently sometimes by BioLogos people than is used by mainstream Christians too.
