Is it possible that one of the biggest obstacles to harmonizing science and faith can finally be overcome? Respected biologist and former atheist Sy Garte says the answer is yes.A flash point for much of the science vs. faith divide has been Darwinian evolution. Sharing the same mistaken belief that science contradicts the Bible, especially the Genesis account of creation, many scientists and many Christians have concluded that the worlds of science and religion are at odds.
But according to biologist Sy Garte, PhD, evolution is irrelevant to the harmony of faith and science. And revolutionary new developments in biology are providing stronger evidence than ever before of a purposeful creator God.
In his new book, Dr. Garte combines the latest research with a biblical worldview as he explains:
- how scientific progress has been hindered by the reluctance of many biologists to follow the evidence wherever it leads because of their fear of opening the door to theism
- why misunderstandings about both the Bible and science have caused many people to unnecessarily abandon Christianity
- why evolution by natural selection isn't as important to science as many people think--and why it matters
- how new evidence of purpose, agency and decision-making at the cellular level points to a creator God
- how a reductionist, purely materialistic view of life ignores new advances in science
In
Beyond Evolution, Sy Garte challenges both scientists and people of faith to follow the evidence wherever it leads--and argues powerfully for why that evidence warrants a belief in God.
