Synopsis

Should science influence theology? Is the Bible a book of science as well as spiritual truths? Few topics are more controversial among certain people of faith than the theory of evolution. Evolving Certainties reviews major scientific discoveries since the scientific revolution - discoveries that have a direct impact on traditional interpretation of the Bible's creation accounts. Nicolaus Copernicus set off alarm bells in the sixteenth century with his radical proposal that the earth orbits the sun. The publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859 did the same in the nineteenth. Evolving Certainties brings together the abundant evidence that God used evolutionary processes to accomplish his ongoing creative activity.

À propos de l?auteur

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.
