Science & Faith

“Science and religion are frequently thought to be at odds. However, in this book Charles Foster assesses the arguments of creationists, intelligent design, Charles Darwin, and Richard Dawkins, and shows that there is not conflict between science and the Bible if both are properly understood. The book is written in a clear and lively style, and contains many fascinating facts: I found it difficult to put down." Professor Colin Humphreys, Professor of Materials Science and Director of Research, University of Cambridge "Charles Foster is a thinker who is prepared to engage with real fullblooded science and with real full-blooded Christianity. The result is a book that moves beyond the usual stereotypes and battle-lines into an exciting world of awe, wonder, Darwin, and God." Revd. Dr. David Wilkinson, Principal, St. John’s College, Durham University A great deal of the universe does not need any explanation. Elephants, for instance. Once molecules have learnt to compete and to create other molecules in their own image, elephants, and things resembling elephants, will in due course be found roaming through the countryside . . . Some of the things resembling elephants will be men.”

“A truth has not done its work until we have seen it with the eyes of our heart. Only then can it set us free. The poetry of this book offers us many glimpses of truth which, if we will allow it to breathe, will lead us to that freedom.”
