The BioLogos Foundation is a Christian advocacy group that supports the view that God created the world using evolution of different species as the mechanism.[1] It was established by Francis Collins in 2007 after receiving letters and emails from people who had read his book, The Language of God.[2] The primary audience was Christians in the beginning, but Collins as well as later leaders of the organization have sought to engage with scientific skeptics as well as general audiences invested in biological science.
BioLogos affirms evolutionary creation as a core commitment.[3]
The foundation has been led by the following presidents:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, BioLogos sponsored livestream events featuring the NIH director and BioLogos founder Francis Collins.[4]
ATime article about the foundation reported different responses in 2009.[5]
BioLogos has also received praise and positive responses. Supporters of The BioLogos Foundation include Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker, who has argued that the foundation's goal of "helping fundamentalists evolve can only be good for civilization."[6]
