Abstract We argue here that bringing insights from evolution and bioengineering to bear on traditional accounts of divine providence helps to illustrate just how complex providence is and how difficult it is to achieve. While other non‐human animals might exhibit greater agency in creation and its evolutionary development than has traditionally been ...
