Sinossi

Do you have doubts that evolution and theology are compatible? In EvolutionFor Creationists, author Edward C. Mendler offers an intelligent analysis of whythere is no conflict between evolution and theology. Mendler explains evolution inlaymen's terms to help those without scientific training understand howevolutionary science is wholly compatible with the tenets of mainstream Christiantheology.Evolution For Creationists clearly sets forth the basic concepts of biological evolutionand gives a sampling of the underlying cosmology. Mendler begins with a review ofWilliam Paley's 1802 treatise, and finds in it a clear openness to scientific discoveryand explanation. He also explores the life of Charles Darwin and the developmentof his concept of natural selection.Reviewing the writings of several of the principal supporters of the current"Intelligent Design" movement, Mendler finds some distortions of both scienceand theology. The writings of contemporary Christian scientists and theologianswho accept evolution and reject creationist contentions as philosophically flawed arealso covered. In so doing, Mendler hopes "to bring evolution into the mainstreamof religious thinking, where it belongs."
