The Identity of BioLogos
Core Values
Christ-centered Faith — We embrace the historical Christian faith, upholding the authority and inspiration of the Bible.
Rigorous Science — We affirm the established findings of modern science, celebrating the wonders of God’s creation.
Gracious Dialogue — We strive for humble and thoughtful dialogue with those who hold other views, speaking the truth in love.
How It All Started
BioLogos was founded by one of the top biologists in the world, Francis Collins. He led the Human Genome Project and directed the National Institutes of Health. In 2006, he wrote the best-selling book The Language of God in which he tells his journey from atheism to Christian belief, showing that science is not in conflict with the Bible, but actually enhances faith. The outpouring of response to the book showed the need for virtual and actual meeting places to ask questions, discuss issues, and learn from the top Christian minds in the sciences and theology.
In 2009, BioLogos launched its website, including the first Common Questions pages and a regular blog. Later in 2009, BioLogos held its first of several annual events in New York City, hosted by pastor Tim Keller, for leading pastors and theologians to gather with believing scientists for dialogue and worship.
Under the leadership of President Darrel Falk, the BioLogos daily blog grew to thousands of readers, and BioLogos began new programs including the “Biology by the Sea” workshop for high school teachers (2010-2012). Falk brought BioLogos into conversation with Southern Baptist leaders and with Reasons to Believe, leading to the 2017 book Old Earth or Evolutionary Creation?
In 2013, Deborah Haarsma became President and the organization relocated to Grand Rapids, Michigan. From 2013-2015, BioLogos ran the “Evolution and Christian Faith” grants program, which funded 37 projects across North America and Europe. In 2015, we began our biennial “Faith & Science” conference that is held at locations around the country. The website continued to grow into a rich resource of articles, blog posts, and personal stories from hundreds of authors. In 2016, we published a book of essays How I Changed My Mind about Evolution, which began our book series with InterVarsity press.
In 2019, we expanded our topics to address many areas at the intersection of Christ-centered faith and rigorous science, including creation care and medicine & bioethics. Also that year, we launched our podcast Language of God, engaging our topics with interviews, stories, and on-site experiences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, BioLogos provided the best-available public health information in a fully Christian framework, and hundreds of faith leaders signed our Christian Statement on Science for Pandemic Times. In 2021, we released our Integrate curriculum for high school students, now used in Christian schools and homeschools across the country.
Today, BioLogos continues to equip the church, engage the world, and empower the next generation. Our website is visited by over a million people a year, with our regularly updated Common Questions remaining one of the most popular sections of the site. Our Voices speakers bureau brings BioLogos experts to venues near you, and our Insights animated videos and growing social media channels give many opportunities to engage online. BioLogos is showing the many ways that faith and science work hand in hand to address the challenges facing the church and the world today.
