How have other creationists responded to Behe's belief that humans descended from Apes? I notice that he has been on The Bible Answer Man and other shows and used by many a creationist, but he's practically a theistic evolutionist (but not quite).

I doubt that they will say much (if anything.) They didn't complain about his agreement with an old earth.

I'd imagine that the way they figure it, anyone who is helping them fark up science is alright by them, even if they aren't playing 100% by the same book.

I'm sure they feel they same way about progressive creationists and evolutionists. (H Ross specifically)

Yeah...but he's also a Catholic, so they pretty much consider him misguided theistically anyway. Another example of xians picking and choosing to meet their needs.

Well, just to play devil's advocate here, many of us atheists consider Kenneth Miller to be "misguided theistically," but we still quote his refutations of creationism, irreducible complexity, etc.

That is wrong, we didn't descend from apes, we share a common ancestor with the other primates.
