Evolving Certainties: Resolving Conflict at the Intersection of Faith and Science - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Terry Defoe is an ordained Lutheran pastor. Now retired, he served congregations in Western Canada beginning in 1982. His interest in science and religion began around 1990, when, as a pastor in Vancouver B.C., he worked with students on the campuses of the University of British Columbia as well as Simon Fraser University. In Evolving Certainties he compares scientific and religious worldviews, each, in its own way, seeking truth. His interest in science and evolution was initially prompted by a desire to get beyond typical young earth creationist claims and investigate the message science is trying to convey, with the goal of determining whether that message is inherently corrosive to the Christian faith and biblical authority. He argues that, rather than challenging faith, evolutionary science has the very real potential of enhancing faith as humanity slowly pulls back the curtain on what the abundant evidence, from disciplines as disparate as cosmology, geology and biology, has to say about God's creative activity.
