While there are many who propose some doctrine called theistic evolution as a compromise between evolutionism and Biblical Christianity, it is by no means easy to find out what the doctrine is supposed to entail. In this article the author investigates the doctrine, with reference to scientific evidence. In fact, theistic evolution may be divided into several varieties, some of which merge with atheistic evolution or with progressive creation. None of the variation, however, is really supported by the scientific evidence; and powerful objections may be brought against each variety. The doctrine of supernatural creation in a short time is supported by the scientific evidence.
