I would like to know if this course is presented from a Creationist or Theistic-evolutionist point of view?
This is only a guess, if you mean a 6 day Creation view, then the answer is definitely NO. The author is John H. Walton, if you have the Zondervan NIV Application Commentary: Genesis, you can get a feel for his theory.
I am not in agreement with his theory on Adam as expressed in the Four Views on the Historical Adam.
As a theologian Walton by default is a creationist but he's not a 24/7-day creationist.
He presents the "text in its context" or in other words, how the early Hebrew listeners would have listened and understood it in its ancient context.
A 'young-earth' creationist might find it more difficult but would still learn something worthwhile watching this Mobile Education series.
YouTube has many videos of his and you can listen for yourself and decide.
Glad I have the Scriptures to depend on, not other peoples doubts. I am always amazed at the people who believe God could not tell us the truth.
That's a pretty simply argument for what most throughout the centuries have considered a pretty complicated issue.
Here is one of his church lectures on the subject:

Agreed. That said, most did not leave room for evolution. I appreciate a lot of what he says on creation but on reading his views on the historical Adam, i gained a better understanding of where the author was coming from. Please read his view on the historic Adam.
What's complicated? It becomes that when we try to integrate- what is so-called science- into a miraculous act.
Bing Bang (and other start theories), evolution , etc. are just the fancy's of men's minds. There is no evidence other than speculation for any of them.

Thanks for that great link!
If I told you the truth, you wouldn't believe it so I tell you fairy tales.
GOD

Just to be clear, as far as I know John Walton is not an evolutionist.
