• TIME magazine (August 15, 2005) asked four prominent thinkers: can you believe in God and evolution?  Their answers help frame the debate.  Evangelical Christian Francis Collins takes a position shared by many of us in the NRCSE.  Roman Catholic Michael Behe shares our view that evolution and theism are compatible, but unlike us (and the vast majority of scientists), Dr. Behe thinks intelligent design is a valid scientific conclusion.   The other two respondents, Steven Pinker (an atheist) and Albert Mohler (a fundamentalist Christian), both find evolution and theism incompatible.
