God And Evolution: Fundamental Questions of Christian Evolutionism

Science Held Hostage: What's Wrong With Creation Science and Evolutionism

2 reviews
Howard J. Van Till, Davis A. Young, ...

Intervarsity Pr, 1988

Surprisingly fair treatment of creation vs. evolution issues
As both a scientist and a Christian, I found this treatment of the much-heated debate on creation vs. evolution very fair-minded and enlightening. It is written for the layperson in mind and is very clear in defining the scope for both the realms of science and religion. As a person who has grown weary of the "mud slinging" from both sides of the controversy, I am glad to recommend this book to ...

The Evolutionary Philosophy of Chauncey Wright (Thoemmes Press - Foundations of American Evolutionism)

Thoemmes Continuum, 2000

'The Wright volumes look like an excellent contribution. It makes me realize again how sad it is that he did not leave more than he did. He was such a seminal figure and contributed so much by way of his reflections on science and evolution in particular as well as the role he played in the origins of pragmatism. It will be good to have the essays in one place and to see what is in the letters. Volume 3 also looks good, as it has the best ...

Brainwashed* and Miracles**: *The Perceived Mind-Set of the Secular Elite re Darwin-Evolutionism! **To ...
Aaron L. Kolom

AuthorHouse, 2008

No rational mind - given the evidence of buttons and buttonholes in an article of clothing - would deny that both "intelligence" and "design" played roles in the fabrication of such a garment, but - mystery of mysteries - the brightest and most educated in our culture, reject such considerations for all the infinitely more complex living organisms, insisting (dogmatically) that they somehow "evolved" by haphazard, sequential, random mutations. ...

George Eliot and Herbert Spencer: Feminism, Evolutionism, and the Reconstruction of Gender

1 review
Nancy L. Paxton

Princeton Univ Pr, 1991

A Primer for Evolutionary Psychology
What a provocative title! Paxton's book is not about evolutionary psychology, but the relationship between Spencer and Eliot laid the groundwork for much of what came about in the twentieth century focus on the place of biology in determining relations between man and woman, the individual and society, and the role that evolutionary theory plays in helping people to determine the paramaters. ...

The Widening Breach: Evolutionism in the Mirror of Cosmology
Whitall N. Perry

International Specialized Book Services, 1995

This pivotal book is the first to challenge the concept of evolutionism from a cosmological standpoint. Based on the traditional metaphysic it offers a penetrating and comprehensive analysis of the present state of man's occupancy of the Earth within the cosmic scheme of things. That is, metaphysically speaking, how things are at their origin and beginning, how they unfold in the cosmic plan, where things stand at present, and what a realistic ...
