About the BioLogos Forum
Favorites
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.
A Tale of Three Creationists
In this three part series, Dennis Venema introduces and highlights Todd Wodd—a biologist who validates evolution as a credible theory, yet rejects the theory itself on a Biblical basis. In other words, Wood is a Young Earth Creationist. Despite their different perspectives, however, both he and Venema offer similar scientific critiques of arguments made by Reasons To Believe (RTB) including their view that physical, anatomical and genetic similarities as well as shared pseudogenes do not imply common ancestry between two organisms. The careful evaluations made by both Venema and Wood demonstrate the scientific weaknesses in RTB’s theories.

A Tale of Three Creationists, Part 1
In fact, I can think of only one major difference between us: my colleague is a Young Earth Creationist, whereas I am an Evolutionary Creationist. His name is Todd Wood, and he is a faculty member at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee.
A Tale of Three Creationists, Part 2
Since his pivotal 2006 paper, Todd has continued to evaluate and respond to arguments against human common ancestry brought forth by other creationists. One group that is frequently the target of Todd’s criticism is the Old-Earth Creationist group Reasons to Believe.
A Tale of Three Creationists, Part 3
One of the strongest pieces of evidence in favor of common ancestry between humans and chimpanzees (and other organisms) is a large number of “broken” genes, otherwise known as pseudogenes.
