Restoring a Traditional Creation Theology

In this video, Denis Alexander discusses the need to restore a traditional creation theology to the discussion of science and faith. One way to do this, argues Alexander, is to discourage investing evolution with an atheistic narrative, and instead allow it to do the job it is meant to fulfill: to explain the origins of biological diversity.

To argue that evolution is inherently atheistic, however, is an error, notes Alexander, as it takes the scientific theory and imposes one’s personal ideology upon it.

“We don’t have to choose between creation and evolution because they are two complementary narratives,” says Alexander. “You need both accounts to do justice to the complexity of the world around us.”
