Summary/Abstract: Ever since Charles Darwin proposed his evolutionary theory, Christians of different denominations have been struggling with the question regarding the origin of species. Darwin challenged the traditional Christian belief that species were created separately over time that Genesis calls the six days. After Darwin, two opposite theories have been formulated within Christianity: one of them is young Earth creationism the other theistic evolution. Unfortunately, both theories encounter serious problems. For this reason we postulate a third way, a theory called progressive creation. This concept meets the requirements of both modern science and traditional Christian theology.
