common descent
Hi all,my name is Paul from Portland. I would like to know if anyone has info on common descent as espoused by the evolutionists. My son and I are having a debate about this. Sadly he has lost his Christian faith. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Re: common descent
Hi zeke (Paul). I'm sorry to hear about your son. I pray and will pray for him and you and your family. I'm sorry I don't keep up with the evolution topic at all anymore so I don't have any help there.
... that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. John 5:23
Re: common descent
I would recommend BioLogos (http://biologos.org/questions), which is an organization of generally evangelical Christians who take a theistic evolution stance. (As I do.)
I wouldn't recommend looking at your son's acceptance of evolution as somehow being a barrier to his returning to the faith. Speaking from experience, it's possible to hold onto faith while moving toward a scientific understanding of Origins. (I'll also recommend Origins, by Deborah Haarsma as a possible resource to read through with your son.)
