"Theistic evolution" and "Evolution and the Roman Catholic
Church" adapted from Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia (as
of 1/28/2006). Theistic evolution, less commonly known as
evolutionary creationism, is the general opinion that some or
all classical religious teachings about God and creation are
compatible with some or all of the scientific theory of
evolution. Theistic evolution holds that the acceptance of
evolutionary biology is not fundamentally different from the
acceptance of other sciences, such as astronomy or meteorology.
The latter two are also based on a methodological assumption of
naturalism to study and explain the natural world, without
assuming the existence or nonexistence of the supernatural. In
this view, it is held both religiously and scientifically
correct to reinterpret ancient religious texts in line with
modern-day scientific findings about evolution. This synthesis
of the teleology underlying faith and religious teachings with
science can still be described as creationism in
