Well, theism is the belief in a personal god, and darwinism is darwinian evolution via natural selection, so I imagine theistic Darwinism would be accepting evolution and believing in a personal god at the same time. Christians who accept theistic Darwinism assume that the creation story found in Genesis came about due to macro evolution (i.e. the evolution of one species from another).

∙ 11y agoThe basic idea is that evolution does indeed occur much as the genetic and fossil evidence testifies, but that it is not simply a natural coincidence of factors, but rather designed or guided by gods or by a god.

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Humans are not nearly ready to assume any responsibility for this process yet. Perhaps influence it.

What evolution is a compromise between the Bible and evolutionary science?
A:A compromise is sometimes described as an agreement by which neither side can be really happy. So it is with so-called 'theistic evolution', an attempted compromise that allows Christians to believe that God still had a role in creation as he guided evolution down its path, at the same time as they can accept that the science of evolution is proven. Many Christians remain unconvinced by this compromise because it means giving up long-held, cherished beliefs that God created every living thing just as we see it now, just 6000 years ago.Research scientists can not agree with the compromise because it leaves no room for natural selection, known to be the major driving force behind evolution.
What is theistic?
Theistic evolution is a concept that asserts that the classic religious teachings about God are compatible with the modern scientific understanding about biological evolution. In short, theistic evolutionists believe that there is a God, that God is the creator of the material universe and all life within, and that biological evolution is simply a natural process within that creation. Evolution, according to this view, is simply a tool that God employed to develop the various life forms seen today. Theistic evolutionists may also believe that humans evolved, or that they were specially created by God, and that all other life was allowed to evolve.
