Description
Debates about the religious implications of Charles Darwin's ideas have been going on for almost a century and a half and are as heated today as they have ever been. People ask: Does evolution trump belief in a divine creation? Is "scientific creationism" a reasonable alternative to evolution? How could a caring God permit the blind impersonality of natural selection? This book responds to those questions and others as it explores the ongoing conversation between religious belief and empirical science. The questions in the volume are arranged under several headings. The first section looks at Darwin's theory of evolution, its standing among scientists and believers today and its compatibility with scriptural accounts of creation. The second section considers the implications of evolution for theology. The third takes up the issue of creationism in its many expressions. Later sections deal with questions. surrounding an intelligent design to the universe, natural selection, divine providence, suffering and redemption. Taken together, the responses in this book offer a broad perspective on the way people are trying to explain their world in a factual and religiously significant way.
