'''BioLogos''' is a [[think-tank]] that promotes and popularizes [[theistic evolution]]. With millions of dollars of grant money from the [[Templeton Prize|John Templeton Foundation]], It has greatly expanded its programs to present an evolutionary understanding of God’s creation. As part of its “Evolution and Christian Faith” campaign, the organization is donating money to churches, parachurch groups, and academics to promote evolutionary teaching. So far, the organization has given grants ranging from $23,000 to $300,000 to 37 individuals and teams.

BioLogos seeks to “invite the church and the world to see the harmony between science and biblical faith,” but in practice, those high-sounding words mean reinterpreting clear Scripture to line up with flawed human understanding. [[Francis Collins]] (who won the [[Templeton Prize]] in 2020 and Directed the [[National Institutes of Health]])is one of it's most prominent promoters. <ref>https://answersingenesis.org/theistic-evolution/bible-and-biologos/</ref>

+BioLogos is an organized group of [[theistic evolution|theistic evolutionists]] consisting of scientists and theologians dedicated to convincing the Christian church to adopt [[evolution]] as the creative mechanism God used to bring about the world.<ref>https://answersingenesis.org/blogs/calvin-smith/2022/01/17/biologos-heresy-and-false-teaching-part-1/</ref> BioLogos claims to “invite the church and the world to see the harmony between science and biblical faith,”, although BioLogos purports to “embrace the historic Christian faith,” one looks in vain for robust defenses of Christian doctrine on their website, especially as historically understood. Rather, their statements about the Bible are couched in equivocal language; for instance, “Christian doctrine is broadly compatible with scientific accounts of our origins.”.<ref>https://answersingenesis.org/blogs/calvin-smith/2022/01/17/biologos-heresy-and-false-teaching-part-1/</ref> [[Francis Collins]] (who won the [[Templeton Prize]] in 2020 and Directed the [[National Institutes of Health]])is one of it's most prominent promoters.<ref>https://answersingenesis.org/theistic-evolution/bible-and-biologos/</ref>
