Are evolution and creation irreconcilably opposed? Is 'intelligent
design' theory an unhappy compromise? Is there another way of
approaching the present-day divide between religious and so-called
secular views of the origins of life? Jacob Klapwijk offers a
philosophical analysis of the relation of evolutionary biology to
religion, and addresses the question of whether the evolution of
life is exclusively a matter of chance or is better understood as
including the notion of purpose. Writing from a Christian
(Augustinian) point of view, he criticizes creationism and
intelligent design theory as well as opposing reductive naturalism.
He offers an alternative to both and an attempt to bridge the gap
between them, via the idea of 'emergent evolution'. In this theory
the process of evolution has an emergent or innovative character
resulting in a living world of ingenious, multifaceted complexity.
