Abstract: This study seeks to understand the contribution of evolving Darwinism to the debate between science and religion and the impacts of evolving Darwinism to modern science. In analyzing the impacts of evolving Darwinism in modern science, the study will focus precisely on the roles of evolving Darwinism in medicine, neuroscience, DNA and germ cell. With regards to the relationship between science and religion, the study will examine the different models which exist between science and religion, that is conflict, independence, dialogue and integration model. In the contemporary period, many scholars still present the thoughts of Darwin on evolution theory as it was. However, this study will view the theory of evolution from the perspective of evolving Darwinism. This perspective of evolving Darwinism gives new interpretation to the evolution theory. The new interpretation of evolving Darwinism focuses on the importance of the evolution theory today, especially in the light of transformative faith and science. The study of this new interpretation, the evolving Darwinism, is a theoretical study, which will rely solely on existing literature. The key findings of the study include the dialogue and integral models of the relationship of science and religion, there is a greater understanding of human nature and the understanding of reality. Secondly, with the application of evolving Darwinism to medicine, there is a decrease rate of mortality because the ultimate causes of diseases are identified. Therefore, from the study, the relationship of science and religion is dialogical and integral. Besides, evolving Darwinism has contributed greatly to the modern understanding of science.
