Paul Bruggink suggested that I address the war of words between Al Mohler and The BioLogos Foundation. I have not paid enough attention to say anything interesting but since it is a hot-topic it couldn’t hurt to provide easy access to the relevant materials. If you have any additions let me know in the comments:
The BioLogos Foundation:
“What Do Most Christians Believe About Evolution” by Joel W. Martin
“How Should BioLogos Respond to Dr. Albert Mohler’s Critique of the BioLogos Initiative?” by Darrel Falk
“How Should BioLogos Respond to Dr. Albert Mohler’s Critique: Karl’s Response” by Karl Giberson
“Darwin and Dr. Mohler: The Truth Comes Out” by Karl Giberson
Dr. Al Mohler:
Lecture Video: “Why Does the Universe Look So Old?”
Lecture Transcript: “Why Does the Universe Look so Old?”
“On Darwin and Darwinism: A Letter to Professor Gibson”
“The Inerrancy of Scripture: The Fifty Years’ War…and Counting”
“‘Prettifying’ Darwin–A Timely Look at a Loosing Strategy”

Brian,
As I wrote on one of the BioLogos threads, the Christian and the Jewish man (person), can only really stand upon Scripture here. And even Augustine’s position of Gen. 1-3, was really like a theological “framework”. I would stand closer to Mohler here myself, as we simply must rely upon Scripture itself. “For (theology) does not receive her first principles from any other science, but immediately from God by revelation. And therefore , she does not receive of the other sciences as from a superior, but uses them as her inferiors or handmaids.” (Leo XIII…Ench. Bibl., n. 125.)
