Creation and Evolution – My View

About a month ago, I decided to start a regular post on the topic of science and religion, and I thought it made sense to start with a series about creation and evolution.

I know that sharing my opinions at this stage might take away from an objective review of the issues as we move forward, but I also think that some might benefit from knowing where I stand on the issues right up front.

As I think I have made clear already, my opinion on these matter may change over time, but as of this moment, this is what I believe …

I think those last three points deserves some explanation. I have no philosophical or theological bias against biological evidence. As a matter of fact, I agree with Charles Darwin’s view of this idea.

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.

My area of interest is cosmology, astrophysics, and theology. I have read extensively on the theory of biological evolution, but mostly from a philosophical standpoint. I simply do not have the expertise in biology to make an informed decision. I have also studied Scripture for many years, but I don’t know enough to say for sure whether I think God uses biological evolution as a means for creation. I would have no problem with it if He did, I just simply don’t know.

For those of you who would prefer I label myself in terms of the current debate …
