Evolution Theology: Religion 2.0

As I and others are now using the term, Evolution Theology, or Religion 2.0, refers to those whose position on the science vs. religion controversy tends toward reconciliation or synthesis. The term points broadly to those who do not see themselves at either end of the polarized debate as it is currently framed (either anti-evolutionary creationism and intelligent design at one end, or anti-religious atheism at the other). Theistic evolutionists, religious naturalists, evolutionary humanists, emergentists, pantheists, panentheists, theosophists, and the 11,000+ signers of the Clergy Letter Project may differ in how they integrate evolution and theology , but they all do.

At Redefine God we tend to use the Religion 2.0 term for the personal design of one’s belief system.
For instance you might believe in a combination of karma, love at first site, and an afterlife, but no heaven or hell.

This is a person’s Religion 2.0, in contrast to Religion 1.0 which is generally quite static, unchanging, or “carved in stone” as it were.

About

I am an evolutionary Pentecostal, with a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Philosophy from Evangel University (Assemblies of God) and an M.Div. from Palmer Seminary (American Baptist). I pastored three churches. Since April 2002, my wife and I have traveled North America sharing a God-centered view of evolution with religious and secular audiences of all ages. My book, Thank God for Evolution! How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World, has been endorsed by five Nobel laureates and dozens of ministers, theologians, and other leaders across the theological spectrum.
