Publisher's summary
Evolution—or the broader topic of origins—has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture.
Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions:
- Young Earth Creationism—Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis)
- Old Earth (Progressive) Creationism—Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe)
- Evolutionary Creation—Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos)
- Intelligent Design—Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute)
The contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing questions such as:
- What is your position on origins—understood broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in particular?
- What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in defense of your position?
- How do you demarcate and correlate evidence about origins from current science and from divine revelation?
- What hinges on answering these questions correctly?
This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his or her view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ.
Figures, a book list, and footnotes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

In 1987 Ken Ham wrote what would become a prophetic warning to the Church about the destructive effects of compromise with evolutionary ideas, and how this compromise undermines Scriptural authority and erodes Christian confidence in the infallibility of God's Word. Today we have Christians not only confused when it comes to Genesis and age of the earth, but even the reality of Hell, Adam as a real person, and Christ's own words about creation, marriage and more are being debated in the pulpits across the world.

When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the "Cambrian explosion", many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock. In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life.

Our children are facing cultural "giants" that previous generations could never have imagined. Secularism, depravity, immorality, and apathy taunt Christians with a barrage of hate and intolerance.

In this book, Ken Ham gives us a powerful message about the importance of raising strong believers. He also helps prepare parents to equip the next generation to thrive in the face of cultural adversity and emerge as tomorrow’s Christian leaders.

Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

Plantinga, as a top philosopher but also a proponent of the rationality of religious belief, has a unique contribution to make. His theme in this short book is that the conflict between science and theistic religion is actually superficial, and that at a deeper level they are in concord.

Author John Walton explores the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2-3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a new way forward in the human origins debate.

Story
Seventy years ago, Erwin Schrdinger posed a simple, yet profound, question: What is life?. How could the very existence of such extraordinary chemical systems be understood? This problem has puzzled biologists and physical scientists both before, and ever since. Living things are hugely complex and have unique properties, such as self-maintenance and apparently purposeful behaviour which we do not see in inert matter. So how does chemistry give rise to biology?

Story
Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in the formulation of the laws of nature. Is God a Mathematician? investigates why mathematics is as powerful as it is. From ancient times to the present, scientists and philosophers have marveled at how such a seemingly abstract discipline could so perfectly explain the natural world. More than that - mathematics has often made predictions, for example, about subatomic particles or cosmic phenomena that were unknown at the time, but later were proven to be true.

Over two millennia ago, the prescient insights of Anaximander paved the way for cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. His legacy includes the revolutionary ideas that the Earth floats in a void, that animals evolved, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander’s overlooked influence on modern science

In our modern age the biblical Genesis flood account has been probed and analyzed for answers to scientific, apologetic, and historical questions. It is a text that has called forth flood geology, fueled searches for remnants of the ark on Mount Ararat, and inspired a full-size replica of Noah's ark in a biblical theme park. Some claim that the very veracity of Scripture hinges on a particular reading of the flood narrative. But do we understand what we are reading? Longman and Walton urge us to ask, what might the biblical author have been saying to his ancient audience?

Excellent Debate
I was new to each of the positions presented in this debate, and felt I was given a balanced view of what each presenter had to say about their topic. Although I agreed with some presenters more than others, I felt each had good points to make, and prompted questions for further exploration. Definitely a good introduction to each position.

Great overview
The author provides a great and thorough overview of all four viewpoints. Although the author identifies his own viewpoint in this book, he does a great job of remaining unbiased. I noticed this because I lean towards old earth creationism (although I’m not firmly in any camp). This is a different perspective than the author holds yet I found his treatment of all the perspectives very fair. This is also a very helpful read for having conversations with nonbelievers.

A great summary of views.
I was thrilled that someone was able to bring these four points of view together in one book with such important figures, especially for me including Meyer and Ham. Both of these men are tremendous influences in my understanding and appreciation of the glory of God’s creative power and the importance of sharing that with any who will open their eyes to it. I highly recommend this book to people in all four camps as comparison is the mother of clarity. There were some logical and philosophical points scored by all four contributors, but the fact remains that the same evidence is interpreted differently by those looking at amd despite the common refrain to the contrary, “science” has no more consensus on this issue than the Church. Although I am solidly in the YEC camp, I enjoyed the chapters and rejoinders from all parties and came away with new perspectives and a renewed desire to approach this particular issue with grace and to let God’s Truth show me the way, wherever it leads. A sincere thank you to all who worked together on this project to bring a structure for a constructive and thought provoking dialogue on a most important topic!

Helpful and fascinating
It was very meaningful having these Christian worldviews compared and contrasted. I also appreciated the overall respectful tone of the book. I myself can get very fired up on such important topics, and I really appreciated the friendly tone of the writers, but also their frankness in their disagreements at points. I learned a fair amount and am now able to see the ideas much more clearly.

Worth reading to familiarize yourself with 4 views of Origin of Life
I appreciated this format a lot. It quickly gives a reader, a synopsis of four basic views on the origin of life discussion from a Christian perspective. As we all bring our own presuppositions to this conversation, I’m not sure that one will be persuaded by anyone argument. Without additional research, you may be left in the same place as you were when you started this book. It’s does make it easy to see how scientists or theologians can use empirical data to reach different conclusions. This does not help in our endeavor to discover the Truth.
I appreciated the arguments each author presented. I do agree with the closing remarks, that all of these authors have too much to lose to ever change their positions on this discussion. But surely this book does help give you a foundation of these different positions. Enjoy it for what it is.

Variety of perspectives
I liked being able to hear multiple perspectives from dedicated, passionate believers about how they strive to understand and apply the truth of scripture in a world that often will not let those who believe in a Creator have a voice. There was far too much information to consume but it does provide data points that anyone interested can pursue their own research. I also greatly appreciated the beginning and ending narrative to provide a good foundation from which to contemplate the writers contributions.
My thanks to all of the authors for sharing their views.

Frustrating to listen to
I am neither a YEC or an OEC. Read this understanding that I am unconvinced of either being defined in the Book of Genesis. However...The 7 day creation is obvious as 7 days to any UNBIASED person.
We are to QUESTION everything in science. These old earth Creationists featured here literally HAVE FAITH in many bold FAITH statements about radiometric dating methods being accurate. They are ONLY ACCURATE IN LABS because we KNOW the starting amounts and the time frames OBSERVATIONALLY. This is why we get a myriad of widely different results using radiometric dating in field samples. you people have been suckered into BELIEVING in ALREADY DISPROVEN METHODS that are PROVABLY inaccurate at best...and then FAITHFULLY ASSUME the miraculous creation event COULDN'T have various isotope levels...that God COULDN'T do this or have reasons you don't yet understand! The MANY INACCURACIES and failures should displace your enormous faith in DATING methods. But you ignore it and ASSUME CONTAMINATION...every time you don't get the results you want. How ridiculous to go about doing "science" with such laziness and willful ignorance...while claiming to KNOW they are accurate! I cannot find a single scientist who can resolve this WITH INTELLECTUAL HONESTY. Everyone wants me to JUST BELIEVE in what is supposed to be "SCIENTIFIC FACTS" The UNASSUMED OBSERVATIONAL SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE says otherwise. The methods ALMOST NEVER AGREE. How Pitiful. I've NEVER seen a study that gives me ANY faith in the veracity or accuracy of radiometric dating. No one can use anything but FAITH in our measurements of light...or why EVERYTHING IS RED SHIFTED away from our planet??? Today's science needs UNBIASED scientific research to be accurate...not FAITH BASED!
