Scripture and Science

I heard a theistic evolutionist recently at a nearby college. I quizzed him privately after a public Q&A session, and got the distinct impression that he had given up way too much of biblical faith, trying to bend Scripture to conform to his evolutionary worldview. I don't mean to say that evolution is entirely false. Micro-evolution happens, obviously. And maybe God used it in more than small ways. But I find it very difficult to buy the idea that the biblical account of humans being made in God's image can somehow be reconciled with full-blown theistic evolution.

Neither do I believe in young earth creationism, i.e., that the earth is only a few thousand years old. I think that a high view of Scripture can be reconciled with an old earth view. Here are some links to articles, an audio presentation, and a video debate about that view:
