I would not call myself a theistic evolutionist yet. I am somewhere between a Old-Earth Creationist and a Old Earth Theistic Evolutionist. I am not sure which one makes the most sense taking into account the natural sciences and the Bible. Fair enough. I would not call myself a theistic evolutionist yet.

I was just curious about it since it appears that you are the closest to a theistic evolutionist here on the blog. I never trust anyone else's description of the other side of an argument and how they respond (i.e.: a Calvinist describing Arminianism; pre-mil describing amil). Like you said, Mohler does equate theistic evolution with Darwinian/natural evolution, but I think he knows he is doing this.

In those problems, he still assumes that Theistic Evolution = Naturalistic Evolution. However, despite his misrepresentation, there are several important a priori problems with theistic evolution. I am already in the middle of working up a post on those. You are changing the question – other problems that theistic evolution might have do not allow Mohler to misrepresent it as such.
