This book presents the case for belief in both creation and
evolution at the same time as rejecting creationism. Issues of
meaning supply the context of inquiry; the book defends the
meaningfulness of language about God, and also relates belief in
both creation and evolution to the meaning of life. Meaning, it
claims, can be found in consciously adopting the role of stewards
of the planetary biosphere, and thus of the fruits of creation.
Distinctive features include a sustained case for a realist
understanding of language about God; a contemporary defence of some
of the arguments for belief in God and in creation; a sifting of
different versions of Darwinism and their implications for
religious belief; a Darwinian account of the relation of predation
and other apparent evils to creation; a new presentation of the
argument from the world's value to the purposiveness of evolution;
and discussions of whether or not meaning itself evolves, and of
religious and secular bases for belief in stewardship.
