Abstract
The article studies the relationship between theistic evolutionism
and the dualistic and sinful aspects of the human nature. This
engagement proves essential to Adventist theology, with its
particular creationism and anthropology. Two questions stand out
in this study. First, how do the concepts of dualism and sin affect
theistic evolutionism? Could some Adventist theologians who may
be tempted to accept theistic evolutionism remain consistent with
their biblical anthropology and still embrace theistic evolutionism?
Besides the introduction and conclusion, the article is structured in
three major sections: theistic evolutionist systems that integrate
dualism, theistic evolutionist systems that do not integrate
dualism, and an assessment of both options.
