Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design
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); and Intelligent Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute). The contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing questions such as: What is your position on origins - understood broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in particular? What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in defense of your position? How do you demarcate and correlate evidence about origins from current science and from divine revelation? What hinges on answering these questions correctly? -- ‡c From back cover.
Who Was Adam?
Who was Adam? Was he the result of still ongoing natural processes or a unique creation? Observations seem to validate at least some aspects of evolutionary theory, but long before Darwin, a man named David discerned that there's more to humanity than nature alone can account for. Ten years ago, in the first edition of Who Was Adam?, biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross proposed a ground-breaking new approach to probe questions about human origins. This approach, which they have called the "testable creation model," advanced the radical idea that the traditional biblical view of Adam and Eve has scientific credibility. The first half of this updated edition has left the original manuscript intact. The second half then reflects on how the model has fared in light of a decade of scientific developments. Where did RTB's testable creation model for human origins meet its predictions? Where does the model need to be adjusted? Get your copy of Who Was Adam? to find out. - Publisher.
The Great Debate on Science and the Bible
It was billed as a fair debate format. Two young-earth proponents would confront two old-earth proponents, and an unbiased moderator would keep things fair. But... This 10-part series (8 of which we have originally broadcast by the TV ministry of John Ankerberg) reflects the critical situation confronting modern Christianity: Are church leaders going to take the Bible as written, or will they reinterpret it to incorporate evolutionary ideas? AiG's Ken Ham and Dr. Jason Lisle are allotted only one-third of the total airtime, while old-earth proponents Dr. Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe), Dr. Walter Kaiser (Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary), and "moderator" John Ankerberg use the other two-thirds of the airtime to espouse the unbiblical idea of an old earth. Fortunately, God's Word prevails! - Container.
