Do you have doubts that evolution and theology are compatible? In Evolution For Creationists, author Edward C. Mendler offers an intelligent analysis of why there is no conflict between evolution and theology. Mendler explains evolution in laymen's terms to help those without scientific training understand how evolutionary science is wholly compatible with the tenets of mainstream Christian theology.
Evolution For Creationists clearly sets forth the basic concepts of biological evolution and gives a sampling of the underlying cosmology. Mendler begins with a review of William Paley's 1802 treatise, and finds in it a clear openness to scientific discovery and explanation. He also explores the life of Charles Darwin and the development of his concept of natural selection.
Reviewing the writings of several of the principal supporters of the current "Intelligent Design" movement, Mendler finds some distortions of both science and theology. The writings of contemporary Christian scientists and theologians who accept evolution and reject creationist contentions as philosophically flawed are also covered. In so doing, Mendler hopes "to bring evolution into the mainstream of religious thinking, where it belongs."
