BioLogos is another voice in the creation/evolution discussion. The BioLogos foundation is founded by Dr. Fancis Collins, who is the lead geneticist for the Human Genome Project.

Unlike other Creation theory organizations, BioLogos holds the position that God works within nature and hence they support scientific theories of natural selection and theistic evolution in theological context. Whatever your thoughts are on this subject of creation and evolution, it is well worth listening to their perspective.

I don’t particularly have a problem with the idea that God could/may use evolution as we understand it, but my concern is that the description of ‘evolution’ from the scientific community (on a popular level) seems to infer a ‘purposeless’ process.

To imply ‘purpose’ into the process is to suggest more than what science can offer.

I have also always assumed that ‘random mutation’ was synonymous with purposeless, but I think this BioLogos short does a good job of showing the distinction.
