Evolutionary Creationism (EC)

Without presuming to limit the Creator's ability or will to perform any miracle or make any creature, most Christadelphian evolutionary creationists accept the evidence of reproduction "according to kind," as the Bible puts it, with observable variation in offspring as we all know from our own families. Just as farmers can select for desirable features as they practise selective breeding, so nature selects for survivability in all the various environments as the earth is replenished. Selective breeding by natural forces is called natural selection.

Christadelphians who accept evolution in this way have been encouraged by the Genetic Revolution which has revealed how the means of reproduction that the Creator has given to every kind of living thing preserves microscopically within it the history of the replenishment of the earth, corroborating what was known previously only from geology, anatomy and other disciplines.
