Progressive creationism is a form of Old Earth creationism that accepts mainstream geological and cosmological estimates for the age of the Earth, but posits that the new "kinds" of plants and animals that have appeared successively over the planet's history represent instances of God directly intervening to create those new types by means outside the realm of naturalistic science. In contrast, theistic evolution holds that natural, evolutionary mechanisms were guided by God. Progressive creationists generally reject naturalistic macroevolution as biologically untenable and counterindicated in the fossil record, and they generally reject the concept of universal descendence from a last universal ancestor.
