Abstract
Evolution is a theory that has been widely used by atheists in the last century. Evolutionary atheists and the general supporters of the theory of evolution, considering the advances of modern biology and as confirmation of the theory of evolution, try to show, first, that modern biology was formed on the basis of the theory of evolution and, second, that modern biology is in conflict with creationism. In this article, while briefly referring to the first idea and criticizing it, the second proposition, namely the relationship between creationism and modern biology, is examined both logically and through the lens of prominent early and contemporary biologists. It is shown that creationism, whether as a theological perspective or as a theory about how life and species originated, is compatible with modern biology. Basically, the creationist vision, with its emphasis on the order, lawfulness of nature, and its ability to be understood, is not only incompatible with the modernization of natural sciences, but also provides the necessary prerequisites for conducting advanced scientific research, and the two can have significant synergy.
