Product Description
The debate between divine action, or faith, and natural selection, or science, is garnering tremendous interest. This book ventures well beyond the usual, contrasting American Protestant and atheistic points of view, and also includes the perspectives of Jews, Muslims, and Roman Catholics. It contains arguments from the various proponents of intelligent design, creationism, and Darwinism, and also covers the sensitive issue of how to incorporate evolution into the secondary school biology curriculum. Comprising contributions from prominent, award-winning authors, the book also contains dialogs following each chapter to provide extra stimulus to the readers and a full picture of this "hot" topic, which delves into the fundamentals of science and religion.
Contents: Background in Theology, Philosophy and Science; Towards Harmony Between Science and Religion; Is a Purely Scientific Approach to the Origin of Life in the Universe Sufficient?; Scientific Views on Divine Action; A Dialogue Between Faith and Reason; Science Curricula in Schools of Various Countries; Are There Possible Avenues Towards Convergence; Intelligent Life in the Universe and Divine Action; Conclusion.
