Reconciling Darwinism and Faith

Francisco J. Ayala is a professor of biology, ecology, evolutionary biology and philosophy at the University of California, Irvine.

Sally Lehrman writes in the Scientific American:

A geneticist ordained as a Dominican priest, Francisco J. Ayala sees no conflict between Darwinism and faith. Convincing most of the American public of that remains the challenge. Ayala straddles science and religion by speaking both languages extremely well (and with a Castilian accent).

The article is well worth reading.
