Recent contributions to this journal by J. B. Stump, Chris Barrigar, and Randy Isaac discuss two related questions: that of God's intention to use an evolutionary process to create human beings, and ...whether God may have actively guided this process. I offer a more detailed analysis of the concepts of quantum complementarity and cognitive dualism used by Stump to differentiate the scientific narrative from the theistic. Both of these concepts need to be qualified, and I conclude that the theistic and scientific pictures can be kept together. The theistic account is well articulated within a creation framework. In the evolutionary account, the presence of mentality in higher animals is an important but neglected element, which will affect the scientific description. If the process of evolution was guided by God, an influence on animals' behavior through their mental nature is an attractive option. However, the matter remains open as to whether this actually happened.
