Evolutionary biology today is taught through the lens of the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis (MES), which blends Darwin’s theory with genetics. What’s often forgotten, though, is that three of the scientists who helped shape this way of thinking were all Christians.
The founders of the MES included three prominent figures who were church-attending believers. This fact is often overlooked and unappreciated, especially by extremists on both sides of the creation vs evolution debate in the West.
Samuel McKee explores their faith and why their stories are often missing from science–faith debates in this CPOSAT article, Religious Minds in the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis.
