Non‐Interventionist Objective Divine Action (NIODA), introduced by Robert John Russell, is a model of divine action drawing upon insights from quantum mechanics. It presents an intriguing and significant challenge to classical conceptions of divine action with far‐reaching consequences. When applying NIODA to theistic evolution, however, significant questions emerge that require attention. We identify and assess two sets of concerns. The first relates to quantum physics, particularly whether and how quantum occurrences influence mutations and evolution. We argue that the current empirical evidence is ambiguous in its support of the kinds of quantum action that Russell proposes, though emerging data from quantum biology look promising. The second set of concerns is metaphysical, especially concerning the problem of evil. NIODA gives Godextensive agency over evolution and genetics, which has adverse consequences for theodicy. We propose potential solutions to the problems highlighted in our article, both metaphysical and physical, to improve the viability of NIODA's application to theistic evolution.

罗伯特·罗素·尼奥达关于量子生物学和理论进化的突出问题

罗伯特·约翰·罗素（Robert John Russell）提出的非干预主义客观神圣行动（NIODA）是一种神圣行动的模型，它借鉴了量子力学的见识。它对经典的神圣行动概念提出了一个有趣而重大的挑战，其后果是深远的。但是，在将NIODA应用于有神论的进化时，出现了需要注意的重大问题。我们确定并评估了两组关注的问题。第一个涉及量子物理学，特别是量子发生是否以及如何影响突变和进化。我们认为，尽管来自量子生物学的新兴数据看起来很有希望，但目前的经验证据在支持拉塞尔提出的量子作用方面尚不明确。第二类关注是形而上的，特别是关于邪恶的问题。NIODA在进化和遗传学方面给予了上帝广泛的代理，这对神学有不利的影响。我们提出了解决本文提出的形而上学和物理问题的潜在解决方案，以提高NIODA在有神论进化中应用的可行性。
