Description
In this book I have attempted to chart a path for the reader toward understanding how rigorous empirical scientific thought and solid, informed as well as inspired religious faith are in fact congruent with respect to evolution. The instruments that are used in this book to chart this path include: (1) the findings of scripture scholars regarding the Genesis creation narratives; (2) the basic biology of evolution and genetics; (3) the basics of the sciences of complexity; (4) the philosophy and theology behind the positions people take with respect to evolution and religious faith; (5) the thinking of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin on evolution and God, and (6) the evolutionary theology of John Haught. In the remote wilderness there are two clearwater streams that at close range apparently flow from different mountaintops – but which, when viewed from farther away, can be seen to flow from two ridges of the same mountain. Somewhere in the wilds, the two streams join – become confluent. The purpose of this book is to find this confluence.
