Well is evolution simple and clear.
Atheistic, Agnostic, deistic, pantheistic and theistic is the philosophical spin you want to put in.

The matter is who and how many influence evolution, or how it is done.

The only qualifier that has a perceivable function is theistic evolution, and only then because it identifies, to creationists, the population of theists who accept evolution to be fact. Creationists hardly care if atheists and agnostics don't agree with them.

Why the others belives that Evolution was guided by the hand of a Deity, Gods, God, Godhead, Goddess, ect. But is there such a thing as Agnostic Evolution? As is in maby some one who belives in evolution but admits he dose not know if there is a God Or belives in evolution but also admit he dose not know how we got here?

So I was wondering if maby we should add Agnostic evolution for those who belive in Evolution but are not 100% sure if there is a God or not.

What do you think?
Happy Birthday.

I really don't like terms like agnostic evolutionist, theistic evolutionist, etc. Although they serve a purpose they tend to imply differences where few exist.

I'm a christian, I'm a scientist and I know that evolution is true. Not sure that it really needs a label.

Why does evolution have a theistic version but not other theories?

Mostly because some sect of the same religion (and Richie Dorkings) are saying that if you believe in evolution you are a Atheist.
So have the same sects are not saying that belief in gravitation or germ disease are incompatible with Christianity.

I assume you meant Richard Dawkins?

Citation please?

I have read and seen quite a lot of what Richard Dawkins has produced. This is not his position.

Creationists on the other hand...

So have the same sects are not saying that belief in gravitation or germ disease are incompatible with Christianity.
