The topic of creation and evolution is firmly on the Christian’s agenda. Many Christians now teach that evolution is wrong. Yet others say that evolution and the Bible can be reconciled. Should Christians embrace Evolution makes an important contribution to this debate. Written partly as a response to the recent book by Denis Alexander (a Christian who believes in theistic evolution) this book is a collection of essays by Bible scholars who are committed to the authority of the scriptures and scientists who are committed to an accurate examination of the scientific facts. The first seven articles aim to prove that one cannot accept evolutionary teaching without compromising essential teachings of the Bible. For instance, in one chapter the author shows that Paul’s argument in Romans 5 is meaningless unless Adam was a real person who was the father of us all. I found all bar one of the articles well written and thought provoking. The second seven articles look at the current scientific evidence for evolution. These are written in a more technical style. The authors each carefully weigh up the evidence covering a number of areas including homology, the human genome and (most interestingly) the origin of life. They each come to the same conclusion – evolution is not scientifically proven beyond doubt. This is a serious book on a serious subject and is well worth reading whatever your view on this subject. But be warned: it may change your view on life, the universe and in fact everything!
