Amateur paleontologist Jon Halsey isn't afraid to turn over a few rocks. By digging in areas near his home outside of Dallas, he's been able to amass an extensive collection of fossils which he stores in his garage. He calls the collection "The American Museum of God," revering the power he believes is behind his discoveries. Lindsay Patterson went digging with Halsey in the bed of the Sulfur River.

Halsey's take on the relationship between Christianity and evolution by natural selection is on-par with that of the BioLogos foundation: http://www.biologos.org
The reporter/narrator here describes Jon's belief regarding evolution as being intelligent design. I disagree and would call him as believing in theistic evolution. Both theories holdthat a god started creation and is behind what has evolved but the difference is how they relate the question of the existence of god to science. Those who espouse intelligence design say that, because of the complexity of creation, we should accept the existence of a god as a scientific fact because there is no other explanation that makes sense. Those who espouse theistic evolution believe that there is a god who started everything and things have evolved as this god intended but they do not say that it is a scientific fact that there is a god. In fact there is not a conflict betweens science and religion as one deals with how things evolved and the other with possible answers as to why life evolved. My 10th grade biology teacher( a catholic clergyman) simply said, when asked about evolution and religion, that questions regarding god's role was for religion class and his was a science class where we would learn about evolution. Jon impresses me as one believing in theistic evolution.
