ISBN: 9780192805041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Fossils have been vital to our understanding of the formation of the earth and the origins of life.

Each age has its own crisis--our modern experience of science-religion conflict is not so very different from that experienced by our forebears, Keith Thomson proposes in this thoughtful book. He considers the ideas and writings of Thomas Jefferson and Charles Darwin, two men who struggled mightily to reconcile their religion and their science, then looks to more recent times when scientific challenges to religion (evolutionary...
