Christian questions about evolution

Adam, Where are You? (STEAM Grant Series)

June 1, 2018 by Gerald Rau 5 Comments

ESN is currently creating a Faith/Science curriculum for young adult small groups.  We've partnered with InterVarsity graduate student discussion groups to identify faith/science questions that are important to emerging scholars, and we're commissioning thoughtful Christians in science or theology/philosophy to explore those questions in this series at the ESN blog.  We will publish these posts as a booklet curriculum for campus groups. Debates over evolution and origins are a challenging area for many Christians as … [Read more...] about Adam, Where are You? (STEAM Grant Series)

What about Adam and Eve? Part 2

April 16, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen Leave a Comment

Introduction This is the fifth in a series of blog posts concerned with Christian questions about evolution. One of the biggest questions is what to do about Adam and Eve. In my last post I said the Bible teaches that God reveals himself to man in two ways. One is through Scripture (the Bible) and the other is through what we observe in nature (using science). I then compared the stories of the creation of mankind in the two books. While there are apparent differences between the two stories, there must be a way of … [Read more...] about What about Adam and Eve? Part 2

What about Adam and Eve? Part 1

April 9, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen Leave a Comment

Introduction This is the fourth in a series of blog posts concerned with Christian questions about evolution. One of the biggest dilemmas  is what to do about Adam and Eve. Were they real people? How were they created? Was Adam the father of all mankind? What about the story in Genesis 3 of the fall of Adam and Eve and consequently all of mankind into sin? Do the creation stories in Genesis communicate real, historical events or are they myths that God is using to communicate timeless truths? These are … [Read more...] about What about Adam and Eve?

Is Evolution Compatible with belief in God as the Creator?

April 2, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen 2 Comments

This is the third in a series of blog posts concerned with Christian questions about evolution. In my last post we saw that science does not rule out God because it is not competent to address the question of God. But, is evolution compatible with belief in God as the Creator? That is the topic of this post. A major concern for some Christians is that there is no need for God in the process of evolution. Ironically, this is also the view of atheists. In his book The God Delusion, the atheist biologist Richard … [Read more...] about Is Evolution Compatible with belief in God as the Creator?

Does science rule out God?

March 19, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen 3 Comments

This is the second in a series of blog posts concerned with Christian questions about evolution. A major question for me after I became a Christian was: Does science in general and evolution in particular rule out God? I know that is also a question that troubles many Christians. You may remember that in my first post on the Mechanism of Creation, the View from Science, I said that there were four meanings of evolution. The first three  change over time,  common descent,  evolution by natural selection  are conclusions … [Read more...] about Does science rule out God?
