Evolution as the Generative Signature of God

This paper develops a non‑ad hoc synthesis between evolutionary theory and a generative metaphysics. It begins by reframing life as a relational process that maintains coherence across time rather than as a static object with fixed properties. Evolution is then analyzed not merely as a mechanism of species differentiation but as the adaptive operator that enables relational coherence to persist under changing conditions.The paper argues that evolution expresses a deeper structural principle—generativity—the capacity of reality to produce and sustain coherent, adaptive forms. By situating evolution within this broader generative architecture, the apparent conflict between biological evolution and metaphysical accounts of creation dissolves. The two domains become continuous: the metaphysical level provides the conditions under which generativity is possible, while the biological level describes how generativity unfolds within living systems.This framework avoids supplementary assumptions or interventionist explanations, offering instead a structurally grounded account in which evolution functions as the generative signature of a reality capable of producing life, coherence, and adaptive complexity.
