Divergence and Dialogue

  To fund the projects and work of Divergence and Dialogue, we are currently putting together several planned services related to our area of research - tentatively, we will be able to start offering these services by mid-to-late 2024, along with adding several options for general support with various perks through Patreon. Once these services are live, we'll create a booking site for readers to access. Personal and Professional Consultations   If you're an individual looking for research help, a group planning a presentation, or an organization looking for collaboration on a program or production, having the input and participation of someone familiar with the creation-evolution scene can be indispensable.

In the meantime, we will continue to update our site with ongoing articles relevant to our work that cover important topics, which you can check out on our blog .

While those who aren't in the Bible Belt might not realize the n...

  "We may, perhaps, imagine that the creation was finished long ago. But that would be quite wrong. It continues still more magnificently, and at the highest levels of the world." - Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Divergence and Dialogue was established in January 2024 as a creative research initiative, aimed at exploring contemporary issues within ongoing creation-evolution discourse. We aim to offer critical, comprehensive, and a faithful perspective that goes beyond the simple "science vs religion" outlook often adopted in the discussion. We recognized a gap in existing resources on young earth creationism: many were superficial, biased towards specific philosophical paradigms like naturalism, or archaic monuments to past debates, posing significant challenges for general use. We say a need that would require an ambitious response and decided to make solving it our primary endeavor. As of now, our team is engaged in various in-house projects, with a specific focus...
