A provocative approach to origins that moves beyond the 'evolution' versus 'creation' debate. Arguing for an intimate relationship between the Book of God's Words and the Book of God's Works, the Author presents evolutionary creation - asserting that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained and sustained evolutionary process. This view of origins affirms intelligent design and the belief that beauty, complexity, and functionality in nature re ect the mind of God. Lamoureux also challenges the scientific and historical value of the Genesis account of Creation. He contends that Scripture features an ancient understanding of origins that functions as vessel to deliver inerrant and infallible Messages of Faith. Lamoureux shares his personal story and his struggle in coming to terms with evolution and Christianity. Having lost his boyhood faith in classes on evolutionary biology, he experienced a born-again conversion and embraced belief in a literal six-day creation. Graduate school training at the doctoral level in theology and biology led him to the conclusion that God created the world through evolution. 'Denis Lamoureux has thought deeply about the intersection of the truths of the Book of Nature and the Book of the Bible. In this remarkable analysis, he describes how he has found compelling harmony between these worldviews.' - Francis Collins, Former Director of the Human Genome Project 'A book that takes both science and Scripture seriously. In his fascinating guide to Biblical interpretation, Denis Lamoureux argues that the Bible doesn't lie even if the episodes in the rst eleven chapters of Genesis never happened.' - Owen Gingerich, Professor of Astronomy, Harvard University, author of 'God's Universe' Denis O. Lamoureux is Associate Professor of Science and Religion at St. Joseph's College, part of the University of Alberta. He holds doctorates in dentistry, theology, and biology. He is co-author of 'Darwinism Defeated? The Johnson-Lamoureux Debate on Biological Origins' (1999).
