Saving Darwin: How to Be a Christian and Believe in Evolution
- Author: Giberson, Karl W.
- Publisher: HarperOne
- Binding: Hardcover
- Copyright: 2008
- ISBN-13: 9780061228780
- ISBN-10: 0061228788
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. More often than not, both camps see the other as "the enemy." But what about committed Christians who find something lacking in the ideas of both creationism and intelligent design? Can you still be a Christian and support the idea of evolution?
Scientist Karl Giberson believes you can. Raised a fundamentalist and influenced as a boy by Henry Morris's creationist classic "The Genesis Flood," Giberson firmly believed in creationism through his college years. But while working on his Ph.D. in physics, he began to doubt that science could have gotten everything as thoroughly wrong as the creationists suggested, and he gradually abandoned his creationist beliefs--but not his belief in Christianity. Through careful research, Giberson concluded that Christianity and evolution do not have to be incompatible. In "Saving Darwin," Giberson paints a clear picture of the creation/evolution controversy and explores its intricate history, from Darwin to the current culture wars, carefully showing why--and how--it is possible to believe in God and evolution at the same time.
