The Naturalistic evolution theory (or unguided evolution) posits the view that new species of life came into being as a result of natural causes only, that is, without any supernatural intervention (compare Creationism). Put this way, it makes a crucial distinction between the more general or vague formulations espoused by proponents of Evolution. The primary claim of Evolution is that human beings "have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life". The secondary claim is that science can explain this process satisfactorily in terms of natural forces and processes.

abstract
  • The Naturalistic evolution theory (or unguided evolution) posits the view that new species of life came into being as a result of natural causes only, that is, without any supernatural intervention (compare Creationism). Put this way, it makes a crucial distinction between the more general or vague formulations espoused by proponents of Evolution. Evolutionists frequently claim that they are not atheists or materialists, and even that evolution is compatible with religious faith. However, this claim rests on an ambiguity (most likely a deliberately framed one). The term unguided evolution cuts through this fog. The primary claim of Evolution is that human beings "have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life". The secondary claim is that science can explain this process satisfactorily in terms of natural forces and processes. When evolutionsts say that someone "believes in evolution", they imply that the person accepts both the primary and and the secondary claim. However, surveys such as the March 2001 Gallup Poll show that this is an enormous exaggeration. The reason they get away with this is that the term Creationist is ambiguous.
