Description

In this thoughtful investigation, a seminary professor turns a lifetime of reading Darwin, Wallace, and their critics into a clear, step‑by‑step challenge to the evolution theory. Drawing on geology, paleontology, and the history of science, he lays out the major claims of Darwinism—descent, natural selection, the origin of life—and points out where the evidence, he argues, falls short. Along the way he explains complex topics in plain language, making the material accessible to students and curious listeners alike.

The work also examines how these scientific ideas intersect with Christian belief, questioning the assumptions that evolutionary thought must exclude faith. By comparing the classic texts with modern discoveries, the author highlights what he sees as logical gaps and philosophical biases. Listeners will come away with a clearer view of the ongoing debate and a deeper appreciation for the dialogue between science and religion.
