Abstract
Jerry D. Albert, in the September 1982 issue of the Journal ASA, p. 178-179, condemns "special creationism" as a dangerous belief. His warnings seem to be based on the assumption that the only kind of special-creation doctrine is young-earth, extreme creationism. We readily agree that the latter is a great danger and disgrace to evangelical Christianity, but it is important that we encourage belief in the special creative acts of God as outlined in the first three chapters of Genesis.
