Theistic Evolution

Theistic Evolution is the belief that classical religious teachings about God and creation are compatible with biological evolution. There are two working concepts behind this form of evolution. Both believe that there is a God, but the first concept is that this entity was not directly involved in the origin of life. The second alternative view to theistic evolution, is that God performed a multitude of miracles that led evolution through a step by step process, rather than the completion of the earth by one or two miracles.Got Questions: What is Theistic Evolution?

Theistic Evolution is considered the official position of the Catholic Church. Pope John Paul II expressed the Theistic Evolutionary position when he acknowledged that God indeed created the foundation and from that, evolution occurred. In addition, the Pope insisted that the soul of humanity could not have existed without the hand of God first.NCSE Resource:The Creation/Evolution Continuum
