How Theistic Evolution Impacts One’s View of God’s Attributes


Listen Later

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Christian philosopher and apologist Tricia Scribner, as they discuss theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.

Theistic evolution is increasingly popular among Christians, and it’s not surprising. Theistic evolutionists argue that their origins view reconciles the Christian faith with science. But what if affirming theistic evolution diminishes, distorts, or denies one or more of God’s divine attributes? This is a question few Christians have given much thought to, even though an accurate understanding of God’s attributes is crucial to our worshipping God in truth. So, let’s think through what theistic evolution claims not only about the origin and diversification of living things but also about the God who employed evolutionary mechanisms to bring all living things into existence, even humans as divine image-bearers.
