| Crynodeb: | Can someone who accepts Darwin's theory of natural selection subscribe at the same time to the basic tenets of Christianity? Adopting a balanced perspective on the subject, Michael Ruse argues that, although it is at times difficult for a Darwinian to embrace Christian belief, it is by no means inconceivable. He suggests ways in which a Christian believer should have no difficulty accepting evolution in general, and Darwinism in particular. He considers in detail the claims of the new creationism, and reveals some surprising parallels between Darwinian materialists and traditional thinkers such as St Augustine. In range, he examines everything from the Scopes' Monkey Trial to claims about the religious significance of extraterrestrials. Writing with verve and avoiding technical jargon, Michael Ruse has produced an important contribution to a sometimes overheated debate for anyone interested in, and perhaps even troubled by these issues, who seeks an informed and judicious guide. |
