As a creationist I occassionally ponder what it means. One of the things I have come across is the concept of pre-evangelism. You can read more at Creation Science Rebuttals, Creation Magazine (Ex Nihilo), Creation Science Methodology
Basically pre-evangelism gets people over the "problem" of evolution as a preparatory step to evangelism.
I can't help feeling this is arminian in outlook. Having just meditated on Romans 1 and 2 I can't help notice Paul uses the supression of the knowledge of divinity from general revelation to convict the Gentiles of sin. This is the pathology of the disease not by a surgeon about to operate but by a pathologist dissecting a dead corpse!
Pre-evangelism seems to stray into the area of the work of the Holy Spirit, taking credit for His work - no? It makes me think of the Arminian doctrine that somehow we can make an autonomous decision.
