Can an evengelical Christian promote a form of evolution theory? Can creation, evolution, and common descent all align? Can we indeed come to peace with science?

Dr. Robin Zimmer interviews Dr. Darrel Falk - Professor of Biology at Point Loma Nazarene Univeristy in San Diego and   President of The BioLogos Foundation - dedicated to showing how a common descent theory fits in with the creation account of Genesis.

Dr. Falk did post-doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia (1973-74) and at the University of California at Irvine, California (1974-76). He was an Assistant/Associate Professor at Syracuse University from 1976 to 1984. Then a professor at Mount Vernon Nazarene College in Ohio from 1984 to 1988. Since 1988, he has been a professor at Point Loma Nazarene University.

His research interests have included molecular genetics of Drosophila melanogaster, organization of genes; mechanism of repair of chromosome breaks and molecular changes in the Notch gene in various species of Drosophila; and the use of gene cloning technology to characterize damaged chromosomes at the molecular level and PCR and DNA sequencing to compare homologous gene sequences in different species of Drosophila.

He has also authored a book on the creation-evolution controversy titled Coming to Peace with Science: Bridging the Worlds Between Faith and Biology (InterVarsity Press, 2004), with a foreword by Dr. Francis S. Collins.

Falk is a Christian and believes in evolutionary creation.
