一個世紀以來，基督教護教學對進化論衝擊的回應方式不斷變化。基要派發展至智慧設計論已抛開創造等神學問題，以科學理據為主來質疑進化論；福音派在當代則以科學證據，特別是生物學的最新理據來論證進化是上帝掌管下的過程。隨著近代科學的發展，科學護教現象在回應進化論的種種思考中佔有越來越大的比重，不但運用科學實驗證據，而且也借鑒科學方法論。科學護教雖然具有缺陷，但確實將護教學提升到了新的理論水準。

In the past century, responses to Evolution Theory from Christian Apologetics’ Point of View have been changing. The Intelligent Design theorists developed from the Fundamentalists in contemporary era, which abandoned certain theological thinkings such as Biblical creation, mainly use scientific methods to question Darwinism. And Evangelicals use scientific facts to defend the idea the Creation is Biblical, especially with the latest biological findings. Therefore, with the development of modern science, the voices of Scientific Apologetics have been growing. Scientific Apologetics now uses not only scientific evidence, but also scientific methodology to defend faith. Despite the flaws that it may have, Scientific Apologetics have helped Christian Apologetics reaching a new theoretical level.
