The concept of Evolution in Christianity
In Christianity, the concept of evolution presents a theory that alters the understanding of uniformity in the world. It posits that rather than contradicting the belief in miracles, evolution actually supports it, as the world is seen as an evolving and growing organism. This perspective suggests that the processes of evolution can coexist with Christian beliefs, enriching the understanding of creation and divine intervention.1
