If the experience of science teaches anything, it's that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that.

Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life here on earth; it applies to the whole universe.

It is the faithfulness of God that allows epistemology to model ontology.

I think it's very important to maintain the classical Christian distinction between the Creator and creation.

After all, the universe required ten billion years of evolution before life was even possible; the evolution of the stars and the evolving of new chemical elements in the nuclear furnaces of the stars were indispensable prerequisites for the generation of life.

I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science.

Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything.
