創造論與演化論：從衝突到互補

Creationism and Evolution Theory: From Conflict to Complement

1980年代以來，美國某些基督教保守派積極要求政府把創造論，加入公立學校的地球科學與生物課本裡面，並且質疑演化論的科學性，引起科學界、教育界、與法律界極大的反感。本文主張聖經中雖然有比較多的經文，支持創造論的觀點。但是也有不少關鍵性的經文，可以包容演化論的觀點。創造論必須與演化論結合在一起，才能更清楚說明神的創造過程與倫理主張，並且融入華人基督教的環境。

"Since the 1980s, some Christian conservatives have actively demanded that Creationism be added into public school earth science and biology textbooks, while also challenging the scientific validity of evolution theory. This has caused avehement backlash from communities of scientists, educators, and legal experts. This paper argues that although the Bible has many scriptural verses that support perspectives of Creationism, it also contains asignificant number of key passages more inclusive of evolution theory ideas. Creationism must be integrated with evolution theory before it can more clearly explain God’s process of creation and related ethical positions and be assimilated into the Chinese Christian context."
