The BioLogos Foundation [SEP] inception
The BioLogos Foundation
The BioLogos Foundation is a Christian advocacy group established by Francis Collins in 2007.
Francis Collins served as its president until he resigned on August 16, 2009 to become the 16th Director of the National Institutes of Health. The presidency was then assumed by Darrel Falk, succeeded in January 2013 by Deborah Haarsma .
BioLogos affirms evolutionary creation as a core commitment. At its 2019 conference held in Baltimore, Collins made the opening speech presenting his message that "The world needs to hear the synthesis of science
and faith is possible."
Response.
The BioLogos Foundation has drawn criticism from both creationists and atheists. In response to a "Time Magazine" article about the foundation, Jerry Coyne, a professor of biology at the University of Chicago and outspoken anti-theist, calls the foundation the "latest endeavor to forcibly marry science and faith" and "embarrassing in its single-minded fervor to prove that conservative Christianity and evolution are really good buddies."
BioLogos has also received praise and positive responses. Supporters
