The BioLogos Foundation


The BioLogos Foundation is a Christian advocacy group that attempts to reconcile evolution with the idea of God. It was established by Francis Collins in 2007 after receiving letters and emails from people who had read his book, The Language of God. The primary audience was Christians, but Collins also sought to engage with skeptics and seekers invested in science.
BioLogos affirms evolutionary creation as a core commitment. At its 2019 conference held in Baltimore, Collins made the opening speech presenting his message that "The world needs to hear the synthesis of science and faith is possible."
