About Theistic Evolution

The debate about biological origins continues to be hotly contested within the Christian church. Prominent organizations such as Biologos (USA) and Faraday Institute (UK) insist that Christians must yield to an unassailable scientific consensus in favor of contemporary evolutionary theory and modify traditional biblical ideas about the creation of life accordingly. They promote a view known as “theistic evolution” or “evolutionary creation.” They argue that God used—albeit in an undetectable way—evolutionary mechanisms to produce all forms of life. This book contests this proposal. Featuring two dozen highly credentialed scientists, philosophers, and theologians from Europe and North America, this volume provides the most comprehensive critique of theistic evolution yet produced. It documents evidential, logical, and theological problems with theistic evolution, opening the door to scientific and theological alternatives—making the book essential reading for understanding this worldview-shaping issue.  More.

Does theistic evolutionism offer anything except a chance to get sneered at by naturalists and non-naturalists alike?

You might also like to read the new work by Fr. Michael Chaberek "Aquinas and Evolution" (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0991988051/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Those interested in Intelligent Design will see their position validated from the "first principles" of philosophy, metaphysics and science. "Fr. Michael Chaberek makes an excellent textual, philosophical, and theological case that the Teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas on human origins is incompatible with macroscopic evolutionary theory, even so-called 'theistic evolution.' A must read for Thomists and non-Thomists alike." David Arias, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminaryronvanwegen
