If evolutionary theory is correct, what does that say about creator God?
Ever since the famous debate on Darwinism between Huxley and Wilberforce in 1860, there has been little real conversation between the scientific community and much of the Christian world. This book offers the prospect of reconciliation between what are seen as two opposing worldviews.
With remarkable insight and skill, Foster shows that most evolutionary theory and its...
Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions:
• Young Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis)
• Old Earth (Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe)
• Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos)
• Intelligent Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute)

Elegant writings by a cutting-edge research scientist defending traditional theological and philosophical positions
Both an accomplished theoretical physicist and a faithful Catholic, Stephen Barr in this book addresses a wide range of questions about the relationship between science and religion, providing a beautiful picture of how they can coexist in harmony.
In his first essay, "Retelling the Story of Science," Barr challenges the widely held...
James Joseph Walsh, M.D., LL.D., Litt.D., Sc.D. (1865-1942) was an American physician and author, born in New York City. He graduated from Fordham College in 1884 and from the University of Pennsylvania (M.D.) in 1895. After postgraduate work in Paris, Vienna and Berlin he settled in New York.
This book argues that it is possible for our study of the natural world to enhance our understanding of God and for our faith to inform and influence our study and application of science. Whether you are a student, someone employed in the sciences, or simply an interested layperson, Not Just Science will help you develop the crucial skills of critical thinking and reflection about key questions in Christian faith and natural science.The contributors...
A dinosaur book unlike any seen before! Not only is the 'dinosaur mystery' solved, but also readers will be taught the TRUE history of the earth and its inhabitants! Thinking about this world will never be the same again! A wealth of information combined into one volume!
The Fool and the Heretic is a deeply personal story told by two respected scientists who hold opposing views on the topic of origins, share a common faith in Jesus Christ, and began a sometimes-painful journey to explore how they can remain in Christian fellowship when each thinks the other is harming the church. To some in the church, anyone who accepts the theory of evolution has rejected biblical teaching and is therefore thought of as a heretic....
There are many who believe Moses parted the Red Sea and Jesus came back from the dead. Others are certain that exorcisms occur, ghosts haunt attics, and the blessed can cure the terminally ill. Though extraordinarily improbable, people have embraced miracles and myths for millennia, seeing in them proof of the extraordinary potential of our world, and ourselves. Helping us think more critically about our belief in the improbable, The Miracle Myth...
From Science to God offers a crash course in the nature of reality. It is the story of Peter Russell's lifelong exploration into the nature of consciousness - how he went from being a strict atheist, studying mathematics and physics at Cambridge University, to realizing a profound personal synthesis of the mystical and scientific. Using his own tale of curiosity and exploration as the book's backbone, Russell blends physics, psychology, and philosophy...
Fifty years ago Pope John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the most heralded documents issued by the council was the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes). The theme of this book takes its inspiration from the following words of that document: And so mankind substitutes a dynamic and more evolutionary concept of nature for a static one and the result is an...
Einstein said, "I want to know the mind of God, the rest are details." This book is therapist Arnold Mindell's response. By Processmind he means an earth-based experience of the universal state of consciousness that, he argues, pervades all reality. It is perhaps our most basic, least known, and greatest power, combining the non-locality of modern physics with altered states of consciousness found in peak experiences. What makes this book unique is...
In this creative and inventive book, authors Thomas E. Woodward and James P. Gills take readers on an exploration of the human epigenome. Acting as tour guides leading visitors through a 3-D model of a human cell, Woodward and Gills bring to life the human molecular makeup. Readers (as visitors) will get up close and personal with the minute details of human molecular structure, including E. coli, flagellum, a DNA helix, an RNA molecule, and more....
For years, the evangelical church and its members have debated whether the Bible should be interpreted literally or symbolically in regards to the age of the earth. In their groundbreaking new book, In the Beginning . . . We Misunderstood, authors Johnny V. Miller and John M. Soden say that all these arguments have missed the point. Rather, what Christians really need to know is how to interpret the Bible in its original context. Exposing the fallacies...
This story is inclusive of theology, astronomy, physics and other disciplines to emphasize that not only is God infinite but is the Creator of many worlds in different times and different universes. God has decided to permit two people to see his magnificent creations because as the Creator, he loves all his creations. The purpose of this story is to expand and challenge the thinking of those seeking a full understanding of religion, God, and the...
The human brain is more than just another organ; it holds your mind and your spirit as well. Meet real people and see how their neurological problems teach us about how we're wired and how we got here. A fascinating journey into the nervous system, and into the mind of God. A Peek Under the Hood: A Brain Surgeon Looks at Life, is a collection of essays from author and brain surgeon W. Lee Warren, MD. From his vantage point, Dr. Warren sees the intricate...
God created many people on the sixth day. He created Adam on the eighth day. In Adam, God created a new beginning; the beginning of the bloodline of Christ. This book includes both theologically accepted and theoretical biblical interpretation. Although it is my theory of why we exist, ultimately you will judge its validity. Many years of extensive research and thoughtful analysis went into its preparation. The results of which, will alarm many and...
An engaging and far-ranging inquiry into humankind's destiny and the meaning of life, embracing both science and spirituality. Humankind has reached a state of consciousness that leads us to search for the reasons for our existence and allows us the ability to decide whether to allow evolution to shape our future unguided or to actively choose what we would like to become. Informed by centuries of searching, both scientific and spiritual, we can now...
In this clear, engaging book, Robin Robertson draws parallels between alchemy and chaos theory and shows how to apply them to our inner development. He is not proposing they replace traditional spiritual paths, but rather that they reflect deep structures in the psyche that any inner journey awakens. The model they provide necessarily underlies all paths of spiritual transformation and describes a framework for the stages through which any seeker...
Does God exist? Can spirituality be integrated with science? Is happiness possible? Do miracles really happen? Not only does The Visionary Window answer "yes" to all of these questions, but it skillfully combines the fields of philosophy, cosmology, religion, and psychology to form a new way of thinking about science and spirituality. Stepping beyond the classic work of prominent seventies physicist Fritjof Capra, Goswami details his own pioneering...
