His wikipedia page says:

"Theodosius Dobzhansky believed that God and science can be reconciled
through the idea that the Creator brought about his plan through the
processes of evolution. He described his beliefs as "Evolution is
God's, or Nature's, method of Creation.""

I basically agree, though there are different opinions and
interpretations of how evolution actually works. I don't agree with
the standard random mutations model.

Evolution as such has been a concept for thousands of years in e.g.
Indian philosophy, but that is a spiritually guided evolution where
several different levels of biological intelligence is running the
game. Something that has been verified by recent biological research
btw. There is a revolution going on in this field right now.

As for my quote it can se I didn't cite it as written, but from
memory, but it's still consistent with what he says.

In my view everything in physical reality is created with a purpose,
as that is always what Mind (God) does (unless we have absolute
determinism where God is just an algorithm running the game).

He also says:

 "In biology there are only causes.”

I don't know what he means with "only causes", it doesn't make sense
to me.  In a causal perspective I see God/Mind as the original
non-physical cause in existence, and everything physical is just an
effect, of this cause.
