Evolving Certainties: Resolving Conflict at the Intersection of Faith and Science

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.
