This Element focuses on three challenges of evolution to religion:
teleology, human origins, and the evolution of religion itself.
First, religious worldviews tend to presuppose a teleological
understanding of the origins of living things, but scientists
mostly understand evolution as non-teleological. Second, religious
and scientific accounts of human origins do not align in a
straightforward sense. Third, evolutionary explanations of
religion, including religious beliefs and practices, may cast doubt
on their justification. We show how these tensions arise and offer
potential responses for religion. Individual religions can meet
these challenges, if some of their metaphysical assumptions are
adapted or abandoned.
