My friend Henry Neufeld, director of the Pacesetter's Bible School, has posted a new essay on the Panda's Thumb that examines the theological underpinnings of creationism and Intelligent Design. In particular, he discusses the question of the different types of literature found in the bible and why the creationists are wrong to read Genesis and other parts of the bible as literal history rather than as other, less literal forms of literature. Very interesting read.
