Welcome @Bucky_Wood 
And even YEC accept that evolution occurs, albeit âMicroâ evolution, and the rapid de-volution of âKindsâ is indistinguishable* from mainstream evolution.
Still possible, but not at all practical. It means being totally at odds with observable data and the laws of physics. 
By what definition of possible Dan? Not scientifically, not rationally. Itâs only possible as an anti-scientific, non-rational folk belief.
@Bucky_Woodâs (hi!) belief in theistic evolution is in the spaces between science, between rationalism. My rationalism only allows science to be there. Which doesnât deny faith at all. It requires it, as I want to believe. Not in divine intervention in divinely instantiated nature [ - apart from Jesus, and ineffably by the Spirit, of course]. But in divine, purposed transcendence.
I donât suppose we should talk about it again, publicly, anyway, or the mods will delete our posts 
, but providentialist evolution is very rational, Ă la aborigines and cell phones. It just has to admit with some humility that Godâs interventional âtechnologyâ is beyond our reach.
I have no warrant for admitting any such thing. Which doesnât affect faith at all. [It does actually, it highlights the need for it, reinforces it.]
See you on PM.
