Although many believe that modern evolutionary biology renders teleology superfluous, this article explores the recent resurgence of attempts to locate teleology, functions, and purpose in the nature of organisms. This essay further explores the relevance of teleology within Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox traditions, and the ways in which some theological doctrines have been construed against a teleological conception of both humanity and the wider cosmos. It also defends the reality of intrinsic teleology against an evolutionary‐reductionist accommodation strategy, and responds to the accusation that a theological affirmation of purpose within biological organisms entails the thorny position of intelligent design.

创作目的和创造之内:有机目的论的神学评估

尽管许多人认为现代进化生物学使目的论成为多余,但本文探讨了最近在生物本质中定位目的论,功能和目的的尝试的复兴。本文进一步探讨了目的论在天主教,新教和东正教传统中的相关性,以及一些神学学说被解释为反对人性和更广阔的宇宙的目的论概念的方式。它还捍卫了内在目的论的现实,反对进化论者简化的适应策略,并回应了有关生物机体对目的的神学确认肯定了智能设计的棘手立场的指控。
