Francis Collins ve teistik evrimin imkanı

In this study, the philosophy of American physician and geneticist Francis Collins, whose scientific and theological ideas based on the context of the harmony of these two fields, is investigated. Examining the original theological ideas of Collins developing within the frame of science appears to be a pioneer in those who have the same curiosity and concern. He is one of American scientists who think evolution is a forthright way that God uses to create the whole universe and advocate science and religion to be not in a war but rather in a harmony. In this respect, Theistic Evolution is such a perspective that it also refers to religious and scientific notions of Francis Collins which can be reconciled together. In the context of this thesis, Collins' biography and the process of his conversion in faith is investigated firstly. Then the contextual definition of Theistic Evolution, its history and background, and alternative perspectives are examined. In conclusion, the arguments of Francis Collins and his notion of Theistic Evolution besides BioLogos are examined. The main concern of the study is Collins' philosophy of the harmony between science and religion as it is detailed in his book, "The Language of God" which is also the main source of this study.
