Theistic Evolution
20
Advocates of theistic evolution, or evolutionary creation as it is sometimes called, believe that God used an evolutionary process to create forms of life and to bring them to their present stage of development. Some who hold to this view would propose that God intervened in the process at some crucial points, usually (1) the creation of matter at the beginning (the big bang?), (2) the creation of the simplest life form, and (3) the creation of man. But with the possible exception of these points of intervention, theistic evolutionists hold that evolution proceeded in the ways now discovered by natural scientists, and that it was the process that God used in allowing all the other forms of life on earth to develop.
