Evans has defended a type of substance dualism termed minimal dualism that combines aspects of the Cartesian and Thomistic view of persons in a Christian framework.
Evans has advanced the naïve teleological argument, which argues that the fact that world appears to be designed is reason to think that it is design, and that, if God exists, this appearance of design further functions as a natural sight by which God reveals himself.
