To the question "Can Science Be Faith-Promoting? Dr. Talmage answers with a resounding "Yes" that scientific inquiry does not preclude religious faith. He makes an impressive contribution to the science-religion debate, frankly discussing such questions as: Are We Afraid to Think? What Is Science? What Is Faith-Promoting? What Is Creation? What Is Natural? What Is Supernatural? What Is Open-Mindedness? What Is Unscriptural? What Is a Fundamentalist? What Is an Evolutionist? What Must We Believe? What Says Paleontology? What Is the Age of the Earth? What Is the Principle of Evolution? What Is the Relationship of Apes and Man? What about Adam and Pre-Adamites? and many other current questions. Also included is his revealing correspondence with President Heber J. Grant, Apostle Joseph Fielding Smith, Apostle James E. Talmage (his father), and Apostle John A. Widtsoe.
