Book excerpt: Did the world come about by chance or through creation? This book, attributed to the ninth-century Arab author al-Jahiz, discusses the evidence of God's design in the universe. Looking at the world around us and mankind's place in it, he argues that the design, harmony and wisdom in the natural world show that the world was created consciously. In answer to those who say that all things came about by chance, he argues that the ecosystem is playing out a divine plan. In his innovative approach he was centuries ahead of most other thinkers, and the modern reader will appreciate his holistic approach.

Book excerpt: In the last two centuries, a powerful war has begun against all classes that call themselves theists. Clearly the Catholic occultism of 14 centuries left strong meya, especially in Europe. The Inquisition, that is, the persecutions, the murders, the arbitrariness, the robberies and the monopoly of Rome, arrived even at the dawn of the Second World War, but the worst damage caused by them was to make the world see in Catholicism the representative image of God, and as such, a great hatred was created for everything related to religion. We know that Catholicism was born in the year 325 AD in the days of Constantine, but the religious dictatorship was not born there, because 3 centuries later, another pioneer revived religious wars, putting them at the level of battle lines. Between Islam and Catholicism they led the free world to they detested God, because in them they saw a reflection of the God that the Bible spoke of. Although the true message of God was lost at the end of the first century at the time of its precursors, the Messianic Jews or Christian Jews - as they were called in Antioch - had perished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific accounts of existence give chance a central role. At the smallest level, quantum theory involves uncertainty and evolution is driven by chance and necessity. These ideas do not fit easily with theology in which chance has been seen as the enemy of purpose. One option is to argue, as proponents of Intelligent Design do, that chance is not real and can be replaced by the work of a Designer. Others adhere to a deterministic theology in which God is in total control. Neither of these views, it is argued, does justice to the complexity of nature or the greatness of God. The thesis of this book is that chance is neither unreal nor non-existent but an integral part of God's creation. This view is expounded, illustrated and defended by drawing on the resources of probability theory and numerous examples from the natural and social worlds.

Book excerpt: Published in 1999. How can we reconcile assumptions about the lawfulness of the universe with provision for chance events? Do the ‘laws of nature’ indicate what absolutely must happen, or just what is most likely to happen? These are important questions for both science and theology, and are explored here in the first in-depth coverage of an important but neglected topic. Including perspectives from prestigious contributions, and published with the backing of the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR), Creation: Law and Probability employs the disciplines of history and philosophy, as well as cosmology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience in a fascinating dialogue of faith traditions.

Book excerpt: The origins issue is pervasive in the media. It is affecting the way people perceive Christianity: a major factor supporting unbelief. The argument is that Christians do need to take this issue seriously. The prime focus is theistic evolution: Did God create using the evolutionary process? What does biblically-based science look like? What does it mean to develop a Christian worldview?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there evidence for the existence of God? Is evolution true and if so, is evolution compatible with Christianity? These questions face not only students each year but also our modern society as a whole. The answers to these questions are important because they will determine our understanding of nature and our relationship with God. Dr. Turner in his book, Discovering God and His Creation, focuses on these two questions. He tells of his lifelong journey in the worlds of faith, science and evolution and what he has discovered as he searched for answers. He outlines the overwhelming evidence for both the existence of God and evolution and explains how nature cannot be understood without evolution. He reveals that the solution to the faith and science dilemma lies in a deeper understanding of the Christian belief that God is a father. Dr. Turner's journey began with the influence of a father and, after completion of graduate studies in evolutionary biology and medical school, ended with his realization that evolution is more compatible with Christianity than any other explanation for nature. The reasons behind Dr. Turner's conclusion are enlightening and will provide a long sought for answer to the standoff between faith and science.
