    "Intermediate" Models of Origins

    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 15/1 (Autumn 2004): 71–92. Article copyright © 2004 by Jim Gibson. Issues in “Intermediate” Models of Origins Jim Gibson Geoscience Research Institute Discussion of issues in creation is often focused on contrasting the theory of naturalistic evolution with the biblical model of a recent, six-day creation. The differences between these two theories are profound, and the contrasts can read- ily be identified in such issues as whether the universe and human life were pur- posefully designed, the nature and extent of God’s actions in the universe, and the extent to which answers to philosophical questions can be inferred from na- ture and from Scripture. Biblical creation is based on a literal-phenomenal1 interpretation of Genesis 1–3 and other creation texts. The biblical model affirms that humans were sepa- rately created in a supernatural act of creation, some thousands of years ago, at the end of a six-day creation. They were endowed with the image of God and the possibility of eternal life. The original human pair freely chose to distrust God, bringing death and other evils into the world. By contrast, naturalistic evolution is based on a naturalistic approach to sci- ence, without respect to biblical teachings. Naturalistic (“scientific”) evolution claims that humans developed from ape-like ancestors, through strictly natural processes, over several millions of years. Humans have no special status in na- ture, and there is no basis for believing in life after death. Death, disease, and suffering are simply natural by-products of the processes operating in nature and cannot be considered good or evil in any “moral” sense.

  • Creation and Theodicy: Protological Presuppositions in Evolutionary Theodicy

    Creation and Theodicy: Protological Presuppositions in Evolutionary Theodicy

    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 25/2 (2014): 3-28. Article copyright © 2014 by Adriani Milli Rodrigues. Creation and Theodicy: Protological Presuppositions in Evolutionary Theodicy Adriani Milli Rodrigues Adventist University of Sao Paulo, Brazil There are different positions regarding the understanding of the doctrine of creation in the face of the challenge of the evolutionary concept of origins. In broad terms, while some deny the theory of evolution1 in favor of a literal interpretation of the Genesis account of creation, many scholars attempt to comprehend this doctrine in certain consonance with that theory.2 1 The present study acknowledges the distinction between macroevolution and microevolution. The references to evolution in this text imply the concept of macroevolution. While microevolution refers to small changes within one species, macroevolution describes “the evolution of major new characteristics that make organisms recognizable as a new species, genus, family, or higher taxon.” Stanley A. Rice, Encyclopedia of Evolution (New York: Infobase, 2009), 253. This distinction between microevolution and macroevolution is used, for example, by Stephen Jay Gould. See S. J. Gould, The Panda’s Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History, reissued ed. (New York: Norton, 1992), 187-192. 2 Edward B. Davis indicates “four main patterns” that “govern most religious responses to evolution today: complementary” (“theological truths exist in a higher realm apart from scientific truths”), conflict against evolution (“rejection of evolution”), conflict against Christianity (“rejection of Christianity”), and “doctrinal reformulation” (“rejection of divine transcendence and the wholesale reformulation of traditional Christian doctrine”). Edward B. Davis, “The Word and the Works: Concordism and American Evangelicals,” in Perspectives on an Evolving Creation, ed.

    Responding to Perceived Theological Implications of Evolutionary Creation 234 J

    Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies JBTSVOLUME 2 | ISSUE 2 Christianity and the Philosophy of Science Responding to Perceived Theological Implications of Evolutionary Creation 234 J. B. Stump [JBTS 2.2 (2017): 234-246] Responding to Perceived Theological Implications of Evolutionary Creation J. B. STUMP J. B. Stump is Senior Editor at BioLogos and Visiting Scholar at the University of Notre Dame Abstract: In this article I will respond to several common arguments against the position known increasingly as evolutionary creation. I consider an argument that evolution undermines the gospel itself, and other reductio ad absurdum arguments about human uniqueness, divine action, and the problem of evil. These are not technical arguments from academic literature as much as more popularly held views that I encounter regularly in churches and other places speaking to lay audiences about evolution and the Christian faith. Here I attempt to lay out the logic of these arguments (which is often more felt than articulated) and show where they can reasonably be opposed. Key Words: evolutionary creation, theistic evolution, evolution, sin, human uniqueness, divine action, miracles, problem of evil In this article, I will attempt to defend the position of evolutionary creation against what are often perceived to be untenable theological implications of the position. I will not offer evidence or arguments here for the science of evolution, but proceed via the conditional, “if evolution is true. .” As a prelude to that, I will first defend the terminology of “evolutionary creation” (EC) over against the more broadly used (broadly in two senses) label of “theistic evolution.” Historian of science, Edward B.
