Collins, who had been serving on President Barack Obama?s transitional team up until the inauguration, also shared his views on science and public life at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy before the Veritas Forum.
Collins argued that the traditional term for this science-faith synthesis - theistic evolution - left a lot to be desired. He suggested the term BioLogos to describe his ideals, pointing to the Greek etymological roots of bios, life and logos, the Word. Collins plans in the upcoming months to unveil an informational Web site to share his ideas about the coexistence of faith and science in the universe that will reflect his created term.
