Description
THANK EVOLUTION FOR GOD Nature and God’s Creations and Designs Biological evolution of living organisms, including man, as described by Darwin’s Theory of natural selection is settled science for most scientists, philosophers and evolutionary biologist allowing them to declare that in the science classroom to Thank Evolution for God. But man’s evolution taught in public schools remains a contentious issue for many Christians today who declare Thank God for Evolution. The question, who to thank for the evolution of man, his morals and gods, God or Nature? is addressed in light of Nature’s theories describing advances in evolutionary biology, neuroscience and neurophilosophy which are compared to God’s Words as interpreted by Christians; Fundamentalist, Liberal and Progressive. The case for Nature is based on the works of leading evolutionary biologists, neuroscientists, physicists and philosophers. God’s case is extracted from the books of five leading Christian authors who have addressed Darwin’s Theory in light of the demands of their religion. The answer to the question of who to thank has evolved from ten years of lectures given by the author and the responses of hundreds of students of many religious persuasions to lectures on the ‘Conflicts of Religion with Science and Democracy’ at the University of California San Diego.
