  • Theistic evolution is a theological concept associated with some versions of Old Earth Creationism which involves accepting the scientific theory of evolution and attempting to reconcile religious beliefs with that theory and with science in general.
  • Theistic evolution is the belief that God used Evolution (as many but not all scientists understand the General Theory of Evolution) to create earth's biodiversity. It is, in a broader sense, not confined to any one religion, but rather refers to any religion which has a God figure that is responsible for creating the universe in some manner. It is seen, by both strict naturalists and strict creationists, to be an attempt at a compromise between extreme positions.

abstract
  • Theistic evolution is a theological concept associated with some versions of Old Earth Creationism which involves accepting the scientific theory of evolution and attempting to reconcile religious beliefs with that theory and with science in general. The approach taken is different from church to church and a wide range of views and nuances are included in the concept. However, the generally accepted idea is that of a deity-assisted abiogenesis followed by an indeterminate amount of time during which evolution took place. There may have been further alleged direct divine intervention, e.g. with Adam and Eve, though this is not always the case.

It is seen, by both strict naturalists and strict creationists, to be an attempt at a compromise between extreme positions. Creationists make two responses to this position: The General Theory of Evolution has serious scientific problems and has no significant scriptural support (being also irreconcilable with too many scriptures).
