The controversy surrounding the origin of the universe, earth,
and all living things is an ongoing debate in the public sphere. In
"Gaining the High Ground over Evolutionism," author Robert J.
O'Keefe presents analysis leading to the realization that to obtain
knowledge of origin is also to discover the origin of
knowledge.
"Gaining the High Ground over Evolutionism" recognizes the
ideological nature of the topic of origin. It steps out of the
realm of science and begins to deal with the question by reviewing
the scientific revolution and its implications in Western thought,
studying the interpretation of Genesis 1, and describing relevant
aspects of the history of geology, biology, and astronomy.
O'Keefe summarizes science as a means of gaining knowledge and
discusses the scientific method as it is applied to natural
history. He examines how the court system has dealt with the
controversy; draws points from C. S. Lewis's argument against
naturalism; and then confronts the ideology behind evolutionary
science, the philosophy of naturalism, presenting what he sees are
the best arguments against it. Finally, he summons back the grounds
for the authority of the Bible and discusses the partnership of
reason and faith.
Expanding the scope of inquiry beyond the confines of science,
O'Keefe shows that the idea of a creator needs to be attended with
more seriousness than post-Enlightenment science and philosophy
have ever thought necessary.
