Deistic evolution is a position in the origins debate which involves accepting the scientific evidence for evolution and age of the universe whilst advocating the view that a deistic God created the universe but has not interfered since. The position is a counterpoint to theistic evolution and is endorsed by those who believe in both deism and the veracity of science. ==Various views on deistic evolution== In ''(Christian Theology )'', by Millard J. Erickson, 2013, is written: The psychologist Steve Stewart-Williams〔(Homepage for Dr Steve Stewart-Williams )〕 in his book ''Darwin, God and the Meaning of Life'' (2010) states: Stewart-Williams further writes that deistic evolution strips God of what most religious believers consider central. Any deistic God is not around for prayers, miracles or to intervene in people's lives and that because of this it is unpopular with monotheistic religions.〔Steve Stewart-Williams, p. 71〕 Deistic Evolution adheres to the concept of some form of God, but denies any personal God. A recent defender of deistic evolution was Michael Anthony Corey, author of the book ''Back to Darwin: The Scientific Case for Deistic Evolution'' (1994). Some scholars have written that Charles Darwin was an advocate of deistic evolution.〔Christian C. Young, Mark A. Largent ''Evolution and Creationism: A Documentary and Reference Guide'' 2007, p. xiii〕 Deistic evolution is similarly the operative idea in Pandeism, which has been counted amongst the handful of spiritual beliefs which "are compatible with modern science." and specifically wherein it is noted that "''pandeistic'' belief systems .... () the inclusion of God as the ever unfolding expression of a complex universe with an identifiable beginning but no teleological direction necessarily present." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deistic evolution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
