Darwinian god
Now we step into the 20th century, and the major worldviews continue to pile up on the page. Process Theology was the application of Darwin's evolutionary thought to theories about God. Influenced by Alfred North Whitehead, process theologians thought (and still think today) that reality flows in a continuum of development (as frames of a motion picture). Every bit of reality is totally dependent on every other bit of reality. God is in evolution with his world. He is all the God there is today, but he will be even more God tomorrow.
In some of the mainline Protestant traditions, these contributions from Charles Hartshorne, John Cobb, Norman Pittinger and others have been extremely influential. In you're seeking a union between Darwinian scientific thought and faith, here's the wedding to attend.
