i About the BioLogos Forum

The BioLogos Forum is designed to foster a serious and comprehensive discussion of Christian faith and the sciences. We believe that charitable engagement of different perspectives within the Church helps sharpen our thinking and deepen our commitment to the truth that is hidden in Christ. So while many of the articles and videos under the distinctive Forum banner come from BioLogos staff and Senior Fellows, we feature a range of voices, including those that disagree with us and with each other. Unless otherwise noted, views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of The BioLogos Foundation. You can read more about what we believe here, and join the conversation in the comments section at the end of each post.

Science & the Bible

Ted Davis, the BioLogos Senior Fellow for the History of Science, presents a unique online course about the various views Christian hold on origins and science. His goal is to focus on the five different approaches to understanding what the Bible says about creation in light of discoveries about the natural world: Scientific Creationism (YEC), Concordism (OEC), The Framework view, Theistic evolution (TE), and Intelligent Design (ID). For each view, he presents its basic assumptions, the implications and conclusions that come from those assumptions, and finishes with relevant historical commentary.
