In the article on theistic evolution is found the following:

"Theistic evolution or evolutionary creation is a concept that asserts that classical religious teachings about God are compatible with the modern scientific understanding about biological evolution. In short, theistic evolutionists believe that there is a God, that God is the creator of the material universe and (by consequence) all life within, and that biological evolution is simply a natural process within that creation. Evolution, according to this view, is simply a tool that God employed to develop human life.'

In this article the definition of theistic evolution, as copied from the Biologos webpage is something to the effect that God used evolution to create life.

These seem to be conflicting statements. I thought that theistic evolution described how the process of evolution occured as a natural process after God created life?Desoto10 (talk) 06:03, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The section about BioLogos is incredibly patronizing. I'm sure there are more eminent people who support it. Right now the article seems to suggest that the U of Chicago hack made some grand point about the frivolity of the organization. It seems a bit ridiculous to include the petty disrespect of some pathetic leftist on the page of the first man to map the humane genome. He doesn't even raise a good point about the organization, just slanders it in a way that could be done to absolutely any organization in existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.35.93 (talk) 14:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a COI in that I have worked with BioLogos in the past and prefer to suggest edits to the page rather than make them directly. Sswamida (talk) 14:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are in the right place. --Hob Gadling (talk) 11:31, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the fact that BioLogos recently acknowledged several changes to their scientific position on Adam and Eve is notable and worth including in this article. ^[1] 24.207.136.42 (talk) 18:26, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
