How does evolutionary science fit in?
[print] [email] The Urantia Book synthesizes and harmonizes science and religion, and sets philosophy within the cradle of an advanced theology which has its roots in the superhuman insights of Jesus. The origin and subsequent million-year evolution of homo sapiens and human civilization is recounted in exquisite detail. The Urantia Book characterizes evolution as the Creator’s technique of perfecting all of creation. The Urantia Book offers the most plausible and astounding description ever recorded of the scale, scope and grandeur of the cosmos. Logic based science and faith based religion are not at odds. We are endowed with logical minds to solve the problems of a material existence. The immortal soul grows by reaching out to truth beyond logic through faith.

According to the Urantia Book, the process of physical evolution, the spontaneous development of living organisms from the simple to the more complex, and the survival of hardier strains of organisms in contrast to weaker strains, is not a result of random accidents or fortuitous but haphazard circumstances, but rather the result of the intentional design of God, from whom flow all good things — personal, mindal, physical, and spiritual. The physical evolution of the human species from Primates is wholly a consequence of this divine design, while likewise is the divine design behind the spiritual evolution of the human mind into the progressive comprehension of spiritual realities, God-consciousness, as the human personality chooses to do the will of our Father in heaven.. .
