ISBN: 9781556352911 - creationism and the conflict over evolution (cascade companions) (5 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. How do our current notions of the workings of the universe fit with our deepest convictions about its meaning and value? From religion, we grasp the world as created, given, gift. From science, we apprehend it as evolving, in process, changing. How do we bring these apprehensions together? Or can we?

The way in which we answer these questions carries personal and intellectual consequences. It will constitute the first piece in a worldview within which we order our religious beliefs and scientific judgments. --from the Preface The scientific failures of 'Intelligent Design' and other forms of creationism have been detailed in dozens of books, scores of articles, and in a handful of spectacular court cases.
