Gods Books Genetics & Genesis

Cell biologist, Dr Graeme Finlay, explains that the scientific understanding of evolution is based in overwhelming evidence, and that the evolutionary history that science has discovered is part of the creative work of God. (75 pages). “Truth counts. If the Christian proclamation is known to be erroneous in empirical matters, then who will give it any credibility in spiritual matters? If Christians have the reputation of believing fantasies about the physical world, they will be credited also with fantasies when they speak of God’s self-disclosure in Christ.”
