Evolution for Evangelicals

Francis Collins, physician-geneticist who led the Human Genome Project for the National Institutes of Health and an evangelical Christian who was home-schooled until sixth grade, wants to raise the level of discourse about science and faith. To that end, he created the BioLogos Foundation and last month launched a Web site -- BioLogos.org -- to advance an alternative to the extreme views that tend to dominate the debate. Yes, he asserts, one can believe in both God and science. In fact, says Collins, the latter does more to prove the existence of a creator than not. This doesn't mean that Collins falls in line with those promoting creation science or, more recently, intelligent design. He merely insists that belief in God doesn't preclude acceptance of evolution. Washington Post
