It’s not unheard of to find Christian Theists working in the biological sciences who don’t see a conflict between evolution and their faith. One of them, Francis Collins, lead the Human Genome Project. Another one, Kenneth Miller, is a professor at Brown University. These people don’t see evolution as devaluing human life. Rather they see it as expressing the grandeur and wonder of God’s ultimate plan. Kenneth Miller also happens to be a passionate defender of the theory of evolution. Here are some nice, bite-size excerpts from a talk he gave in the aftermath of the Dover trial. He gives quite compelling arguments about why modern Intelligent Design theory is false and why Darwin’s theory is true.
