Opis

Does evolution make faith superfluous? Part One of this book looks across the whole spectrum of biology-from molecules to ecosystems to human societies-and at the fossil history of life on earth, concluding that evolution is the only explanatory concept that makes sense of it all. Doesn't this demolish the core Christian claim that God created the entire universe? Part Two explores whether God might instead embrace that universe with love and compassion, without micromanaging or interfering. Jesus bears witness to such a God in his kingdom teaching, calling Christians to follow his example of humility, serving others, and valuing what the world considers unimportant. This suggests paths of repentance and restraint that are urgently needed in a world facing rapid climate change and likely mass extinction.
