We affirm that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative word of God. We also accept the science of evolution as the best description for how God brought about life on earth. Read More >
Considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with God and in our relationships with other people, believers and non-believers. Read More >
In fact, religion can have a positive impact on science, such as in the development of modern medical ethics. Many early scientific leaders were devout Christians, as are some today. Read More >
The truths we find in Scripture should not conflict with the truths we find in nature. Conflicts happen at the level of human interpretation. Read More >
It wasn’t until a century after Darwin that a large number of Evangelicals and fundamentalists began to accept the combination of flood geology and 6-day creation. Read More >
Properly understood, evolution is a scientific theory about the development of life. It is consistent with Christian theology. Read More >
Evolution is a scientific theory supported by an overwhelming amount of evidence. Read More >
Opponents of evolution sometimes claim it is a theory in crisis. This is misleading at best. Read More >
Many different and complementary scientific measurements have established with near certainty that the universe and the Earth are billions of years old. Read More >
Well-understood biological processes—which we understand to be under God's providential care—give rise to new genetic information all the time. Read More >
Fossils provide a unique view into the history of life by showing the forms of life in the past. They also tell us how species have changed across Earth’s history. Read More >
A complex biological structure with interacting parts might appear as if it were created in its present form with all its interlocking parts, not developed step by step via evolution. Read More >
Because evolution results in an increase in the order and complexity of species—a decrease in entropy—some claim evolution violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Read More >
How life came from non-life, or abiogenesis, is still largely a scientific mystery. Read More >
The Cambrian Explosion does present a number of important research questions. It does not, however, challenge the fundamental correctness of the central thesis of evolution. Read More >
The so-called “historical” sciences test their hypotheses using observation and experimentation, much like any other type of rigorous science. Read More >
Clues to the original intended meaning can be found in the style of language, the genre of literature, the original audience, and the historical and cultural context. Read More >
The seven-day pattern in Genesis 1 is a literary device that serves the theological purposes of the author, rather than revealing information about the chronology of natural history. ... Read More >
Many assume Darwin’s theory shook the foundations of Christianity, but the 6-day interpretation of Genesis was not the only view held by Christians prior to modern science. Read More >
We need to read the story of the Flood through the lens of its original audience, not modern scientific concerns. Read More >
We believe Genesis is a true account that, like other ancient narratives, uses vivid imagery to describe past events. It is silent on the scientific questions we might wish it to answ... Read More >
At BioLogos, we accept both mainstream science, which points to God’s working through regular patterns to sustain his creation, as well as miracles, which testify to his charact... Read More >
The God of the Bible is much more than a god of the gaps. God is always at work in the natural world, in the gaps as well as the areas that science can explain. Read More >
Fine-tuning refers to the surprising precision of nature’s physical constants, and the beginning state of the Universe. Read More >
Instead of arguing that science supports Christianity over other faiths, this response shows the compatibility of Christianity with a scientific understanding of the universe. Read More >
In other words, if everything in the universe has a cause, why does God get a free pass? Don’t we need an explanation for his origin as well? Read More >
Traditional interpretations of Scripture should not be lightly dismissed, but neither should we ignore the results of scientific inquiry simply because they conflict with these. Read More >
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity, and the field of genetics has much to offer to this conversation. Read More >
Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image. Read More >
The fossil record shows that many creatures died before humans appeared, which appears to conflict with Bible passages that describe death as a punishment for human sinfulness. Read More >
