| Summary: | Modern theologians have viewed a Doctrine of Evolution that appeared to teach competition, waste, and striving for dominance as the rule in nature. Theologians responded in several ways: by an “evolutionary account” of creation; by uncovering the parallels between Original Sin and a competitive nature; and by insulating the Doctrine of Creation from scientific theories, while allowing science to move forward unimpeded. Cooperation, mutualism, and the movement between parasitism and mutualism in modern evolutionary biology might prompt reconsideration. A new account of the natural, as well as the evil and suffering within it, might spring from these new starting points. |
