Evolution--or the broader topic of origins--has enormous relevance
to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret
Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent
Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about
origins among evangelicals representing four key positions: Young
Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) Old Earth
(Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe)
Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos) Intelligent
Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute) The
contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing
questions such as: What is your position on origins - understood
broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in
particular? What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in
defense of your position? How do you demarcate and correlate
evidence about origins from current science and from divine
revelation? What hinges on answering these questions correctly?
This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for
his or her view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques
of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in
an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they
differ.
This is an adventure that began almost fourteen billion years ago,
one that so often threatened to fail. It's truly a miracle I'm
still here. Despite everything, I wouldn't have wanted to miss one
second of it. And the best is yet to come. With the help of an
extraordinary narrator, you're invited to discover the wonder and
drama of the history of the cosmos. In this story we follow the
journey of one proton who comes into existence at the beginning of
creation and makes it all the way through history to today. By
becoming a part of atoms and molecules that turn up at some of the
universe's most important moments, our friend Proton witnesses
emerging galaxies, the origin of life, its evolution into a wild
diversity of life forms, the first human beings, the birth and life
of Jesus, the beginnings of the Christian church, all the way up to
the present day. Through it all, the mysterious, seemingly
unbelievable plans of the Creator continue to unfold. . . .
Combining its authors' mind-bending scientific knowledge,
storytelling skills, and insights from theology, Dawn provides a
fresh look at the fundamentals of cosmology, evolutionary biology,
and the good news of God in one overarching adventure-in the form
of a gripping story. Readers who love both science and Scripture
will discover an engaging, thought-provoking tale that reminds us
we each have a big place in God's plan of creation-even if we're
very, very small. BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity invite
us to see the harmony between the sciences and biblical faith on
issues including cosmology, biology, paleontology, evolution, human
origins, the environment, and more.
Perhaps no topic appears as potentially threatening to evangelicals
as evolution. The very idea seems to exclude God from the creation
the book of Genesis celebrates. Yet many evangelicals have come to
accept the conclusions of science while still holding to a vigorous
belief in God and the Bible. How did they make this journey? How
did they come to embrace both evolution and faith? Here are stories
from a community of people who love Jesus and honor the authority
of the Bible, but who also agree with what science says about the
cosmos, our planet and the life that so abundantly fills it. Among
the contributors are Scientists such as Francis Collins Deborah
Haarsma Denis Lamoureux Pastors such as John Ortberg Ken Fong Laura
Truax Biblical scholars such as N. T. Wright Scot McKnight Tremper
Longman III Theologians and philosophers such as James K. A. Smith
Amos Yong Oliver Crisp BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity
invite us to see the harmony between the sciences and biblical
faith on issues including cosmology, biology, paleontology,
evolution, human origins, the environment, and more.
