Does evolution undermine Christianity?

I'm going to start giving you what I mean by Christianity.

And these are very carefully titled, three philosophically interesting Christian

theses relevant to evolution.

So there's lots of theses that would be essential to Christianity.

There's lots of theses I think would be essential to Christianity. There's lots of theses, I think, that are essential to Christianity that are relevant to evolution.

I've limited even further than that.

I'm just going to talk about three theses that I think philosophers have something to say about,

that are central to Christianity and are relevant to evolution. Does that make sense?

So I've kind of wheezzled my way into not having to talk about things I don't want to talk about.

Okay?

All right. So there are three pieces here, or three notions here that I think are important for us in our conversation.

First one is Amago Day, quote.

God created mankind in his image, in the image of God he created them.

And quote, from Genesis, that is to say there's a distinctive set of capacities.

Typically we think of these as human beings have a kind of theoretical reason,

or they're capable of a kind of moral reason or practical reason, right,

that are distinct among the capacities of other animals,

or of all other creatures.

And by a creature, I just mean something creative.

And so the idea here is that there's,

not only are these distinct, but somehow we resemble God in a more distinct way
