Beschreibung:
Re-Vision addresses four issues that lie at the crux of the relationship between science and religion—the origin of the cosmos and creation in Genesis; evolutionary theory and God’s action in the world; genes and human freedom; and whether intelligent design is good science and/or good theology.
Re-Vision addresses four issues that lie at the crux of the relationship between science and religion—the origin of the cosmos and creation in Genesis; evolutionary theory and God’s action in the world; genes and human freedom; and whether intelligent design is good science and/or good theology. This book includes commentary on each of these issues from three scientists, a philosopher, and a theologian. The contributors represent a wide variety of worldviews and beliefs, and readers are encouraged to use their thoughts as springboards for personal reactions and conclusions.
