Another example was alluded to before: the fact that our world seems to have
taken shape over a period of many billions of years, rather than having been created in essentially its present form a few thousand years ago, provides evidence against the view that the creation of our world required omnipotent coercive power; this fact is
much more consistent with the view that the divine creative power is solely the power of
persuasion, the kind of power we can experience working in our own lives.
But precisely because it is a movement made up of many races and ethnicities, many worship styles, and many political
persuasions, it hasn't
taken much for one group of evangelicals to become embarrassed at the unseemly views and behavior of other evangelicals.
