Intelligent design' creationism' and evolution have always been hot topics for debate in America. Creationism and intelligent design are usually seen as the province of religious people' while evolution belongs to the scientists. But what about comitted Christians who find something lacking in the idea of creationism or intelligent design? Can you still be a Christian and support the idea of evolution?
Scientist Karl Giberson believes you can. Raised a fundamentalist who firmly believed in creationism (much like Bart Ehrman)' Giberson abandoned his creationism beliefs while working on his Ph.D.' but not his belief in Christianity. SAVING DARWIN explores the history of the controversy that swirls around evolution science' from Darwin to current challenges' and shows why--and how--it is possible to believe in God and evolution at the same time.
The book includes an introduction by Francis S. Collins' author of THE LANGUAGE OF GOD.
