Interesting find richlevy.
Let me add some more information for you.
Progressive creationism does not contradict a literal understanding of the Bible. Heres why:
In Genesis 1 we read that God created everything in this physical universe. It further breaks down into six time periods the creative acts of God.
Translated into the English language as "day" in these verses is the Hebrew word- "yom".
Yom has a few definitions and many uses and applications, not just one.
It can mean the daylight hrs of a "day", a 24 hr. day/night period, its used in terms like Day of Something, or a time of something, or in the broadest reference- a period of time- various lengths in different uses.
So how well does a Creator creating new aspects of creation in six periods of time(referenced by modern man possibly as supereons, eons, eras, epochs) over the first billions of years of the universe's existence compare with the Genesis account?
Perfectly until you try to dogmatically claim that [yom] can only mean a 24 hr. time period, which has unfortunately become the prevailing interpretation. *(one of the reasons for my signature below)
How well does progressive creationism fit with scientific evidence? As a model it fits perfectly from the Big Bang onward.
