“Let’s talk to Richard Buggs:

Can you believe in creation and take evolutionary science seriously? How do they work together and are there conflicts? What about Adam and Eve? We talk to evolutionary biologist Richard Buggs. He is excellent at explaining complex biology in ways we can understand and gives brilliant insights into the diversity we need amongst scientists today.

Richard is currently Senior Research Leader (Plant Health & Adaptation) at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, and Professor of Evolutionary Genomics at Queen Mary, University of London. – (36:22 min, February 6, 2023)

No atheistic evolution is very unguided and random standard evolution can be guided and is very often not random.
And you folks wonder why no one takes ID seriously………chuckdarwin

Relatd @ 5: I wish I could. There are Christians who appear to accept all of modern evolutionary theory, yet somehow also believe that God is the creator. You can read about it on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theistic_evolution I have no idea whether theistic evolutionists accept what Wikipedia has to say about them, unlike the nonsense Wikipedia has about ID. Or you could try the biologos web site: https://biologos.org/series/science-and-the-bible/articles/theistic-evolution-history-and-beliefs They are the main promoters of the position, I've been told. Let me know if you find any scientific differences between their position and that of most atheistic evolutionists.Fasteddious

Evolution: Nothing made you. You are an accident. Christianity: God created and guided His Creation. "We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary." "MASS, IMPOSITION OF THE PALLIUM AND CONFERRAL OF THE FISHERMAN'S RING FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE PETRINE MINISTRY OF THE BISHOP OF ROME "HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI "St. Peter's Square Sunday, 24 April 2005"relatd

I have previously asked whether there are any scientific differences between "theistic evolution" and the "neo-Darwinian evolutionary synthesis", or whatever name evolutionary theory goes by these days. I have not heard of any differences. Perhaps there are none?Fasteddious

It depends on who u talk too I’m pretty sure most, if not all of our atheist commentators champion that there definitely is a conflict (Sev) according to their view of Christianity, JVL is the only one that comes to mind that I believe has not but I could be wrong Most people don’t see the issue or even careAaronS1978

"Evolution" is not in direct conflict with Christianity but with sanity first and foremost. Then only indirectly with everything sane including Christianity.Nonlin.org
