A Darwinian Christian: An Oxymoron?
Al Mohler has an excellent post in which he considers the question of whether one can be a Christian and believe in evolution? I think he answers well:
I have not said that one can’t be a Christian and believe in evolution. It is entirely possible to be a confused Christian or a confused evolutionist . . . or both. Nevertheless, the dominant theory of evolution — the theory as taught and defended by the world’s leading evolutionary scientists — explicitly rules out any supernatural design or interference at any point in the evolutionary continuum. That fact alone makes the theory incompatible with any legitimate affirmation of divine creation or of biblical theism.
One should read his entire post to obtain the full flavor of his argument. Darwinian evolution and Christianity are incompatible and contain contradictory premises. (Let me be clear that I am not arguing that God could not have used some evolutionary process to bring about the complex life which we now observe. I am arguing that Darwinism and Christian Theism are incompatible.)
