Robert Eckert states:
"The process of natural selection which allows a creation to continue is the mechanism the Creator uses to create creature speciation.
[...]
We cannot finally know how we were created."
These two statements seem to be in conflict. If we cannot know how we were created, then we can claim neither evolution in general nor natural selection in particular as the method by which God created us.
Robert goes on to state:
"Man does become a unique being at the crossing of the triadic threshold.
The reason we become god like is, to me, because only God and man can synthesize triadic relations.That is, God speaks the universre into being, we speak our mental, cultural world into being.
It is true that we are unique among material creatures by way of language, but the function of language is strained, I think, by suggesting that it makes us co-creators.
A novelist, for instance, can do no more than signify the objective creation; he cannot actually call it into being. Even Tolkien, who invented in detail the idea of Middle Earth, does not cause it to actually exist.
