I hope to post something of my own tonight, but I saw this article and thought it was newsworthy.
R.C. Sproul has changed his mind regarding origins and has become a literal six-day creationist.
Story here.

What took him so long?!
I agree, Jim.
My thought is that it probably has something to do with a previous conversation we have had on here re: scholarship.
It is not considered chic in the scholarly community to hold to a literal creation. The lure of being considered a scholar (or continuing to be considered a scholar) may lead one to adapt a view that fits within the "mainstream" of scholarship - even if this is done unintentionally.
I don't know Dr. Sproul enough to know if this was true of him, but I imagine it is true of a number of the folks in evangelicalism who also want to float in the circles of "scholarship."
Just my thoughts,
Frank
