[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 60925739, member: 293637"] Scientifically, I'm not sure how "Natural" evolution differs from "Theistic" evolution. As a "Theistic Evolutionist" myself, I view evolution as a very natural and naturally explained phenomenon and set of mechanisms. I think pitting "natural" and "theistic" against each other in this sense doesn't serve much particular good. A philosophical antithesis to Theistic evolution would be Atheistic evolution, as to the role or lack of role in the natural processes by the Divine is unrelated to any of the science involved and is entirely a matter of theological-philosophical leanings. By extension also to all other fields of scientific inquiry. E.g. Sexual reproduction is easily explained as being entirely natural process and mechanisms, though whether or not there is Divine activity present (e.g. the bequeathing of a human soul ) remains entirely in the realm of the theological-philosophical. Not really trying to argue, just point out that the use of the word "natural" here probably isn't the most favorable of word choices. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
