Abstract
Why do creationists persist in rejecting the evidence for Darwin’s theory of evolution? This paper explores longstanding disagreements among Christians over the epistemic status of evolution. Like other studies that have tried to define the evidence for evolution, a recent analysis by Gijsbert van den Brink, Jeroen de Ridder, and René van Woudenberg does not adequately face up to antecedent commitments that play into any assessment of evolution. The scientific theory of evolution involves higher-level models that are associated with a range of non-scientific factors, including theological judgments. In light of these realities, an emphasis on mutual dialogue and understanding offers promising opportunities for Christians trying to discover the truth about God’s creation.
为什么神创论者坚持拒绝达尔文进化论的证据？本文探讨了基督徒之间关于进化论认识论地位的长期分歧。与其他试图界定进化论证据的研究一样，吉斯伯特-范登布林克（Gijsbert van den Brink）、耶罗恩-德-里德（Jeroen de Ridder）和勒内-范-沃登伯格（René van Woudenberg）最近进行的一项分析并没有充分正视对进化论进行评估的先验承诺。进化论的科学理论涉及与一系列非科学因素（包括神学判断）相关的高层次模型。鉴于这些现实，强调相互对话和理解为试图发现上帝创造的真相的基督徒提供了大有可为的机会。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
