In this episode of the Truthful Hope podcast, host Jacob Vazquez and guest Dr. Casey Luskin discuss the concept of theistic evolution, which posits that God used evolutionary mechanisms to create life. They explore the scientific problems with this view, and touch on the philosophical and theological problems as well.

Specifically, they discuss why the origin of life and the limitations of natural selection and random mutation are problematic for theistic evolution. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in definitions and the challenges faced by proponents of theistic evolution in reconciling their beliefs with scientific evidence.
