The Impact of Evolutionary Theory: A Christian View (Paperback) Russell Maatman

This book is a careful treatment of the creation evolution debate. Particular attention is given to the dualistic view adopted by many Christians, who add Christian assumptions to naturalistic assumptions. The evolutionary scenario is presented and analyzed: some parts meet scientific tests while others do not. Biblical considerations lead to the conclusion that Adam and Eve did not descend from animals. Therefore, the Christian and the evolutionary views of human beings differ radically and lead to dramatically different understandings of human behavior. Examples include the origin of human language, religion, and the human family, as well as the models of human behavior assumed by various schools of economics. How we view ourselves in literature and the other arts is also discussed. Finally, this book shows how revolutionary thinking has played an important role in the animal rights and unisex movements.
