Evolution has provided a new understanding of reality, with revolutionary consequences for Christianity. In an evolutionary perspective the incarnation involved God entering the evolving human species to help it imitate the trinitarian altruism in whose image it was created and counter its tendency to self-absorption. Primarily, however, the evolutionary achievement of Jesus was to confront and overcome death in an act of cosmic significance, ushering humanity into the culminating stage of its evolutionary destiny, the full sharing of God’s inner life. Previously such doctrines as original sin, the fall, sacrifice, and atonement stemmed from viewing death as the penalty for sin and are shown not only to have serious difficulties in themselves, but also to emerge from a Jewish culture preoccupied with sin and sacrifice that could not otherwise account for death. The death of Jesus on the cross is now seen as saving humanity, not from sin, but from individual extinction and meaninglessness. Death is now seen as a normal process that affect all living things and the religious doctrines connected with explaining it in humans are no longer required or justified. Similar evolutionary implications are explored affecting other subjects of Christian belief, including the Church, the Eucharist, priesthood, and moral behavior.

The author of The Phenomenon of Man reconciles passionate faith with the rigor of scientific thinking. With his unique background as a geologist, paleontologist, and Jesuit priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a powerful exponent of the view that scientific theories could comfortably coexist with religious faith. To this day, his ideas provoke passionate debates in communities that view science and faith as necessarily separate ideologies. In this collection of nineteen essays, Teilhard seeks to illuminate a middle ground between science and religion that he felt both disciplines could accept. He explores the Fall and original sin, the possibility of life on other planets, and the role that God may have played in the process of human evolution, successfully challenging contemporary theologians to rethink their views of the universe and its creation. “Like other great visionary poets—Blake, Hopkins, Yeats—Teilhard engages the reader both intellectually and sensually.” —The Washington Post Book World “An excellent blend of theological speculation with practical or ascetical application.” —Catholic Telegraph

A new understanding is developed in this book about the relationship between the Christian faith, modern science, and the world religions. The authors call their new position Evolutionary Pluralism. By combining the Christian faith with modern science and the global growth of religious diversity, Evolutionary Pluralism provides Christians with an alternative to current interpretations such as Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design Creationism, and Evolutionary Creationism. This new understanding stands solidly within the history and traditions of the Christian faith and builds on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

All of these statements are false: Christians are science-deniers when it comes to evolution. Real science actually lines up more with evolution than creation as found in Genesis. Fossils are evidence for evolution. The Genesis account is fully compatible with evolution. These questions need answers! What exactly is the difference between evolution right and evolution wrong? Is it possible to bend Genesis to fit evolution? How can one defend belief in a six-day creation from the onslaughts of the evolutionists? How about any questions you have? This book is a must for any Christian about to enter a public high school or university. Accepting evolution as true is the basis for three of the ten reasons Christians give up saving faith. It is time for you to arm yourself with the truth and stand your ground logically, philosophically, scientifically, and most important biblically! Ready? Let’s go!

The debate surrounding creation and evolution divides Christians, particularly evangelicals. It has been a stumbling block for young Christians and a point of contention for the new Atheists. Professor R. J Berry assembles a wide range of distinguished contributors, all convinced, committed and orthodox Christian believers, each of whom has undertaken a conceptual journey, based on sound science and careful theology, from a creationist position to one in which God's creation and the processes of evolution are properly and credibly integrated. Christians and Evolution is a luminous volume that offers a pathway for doubters, sceptics and conservative Christians to embrace the overall scientific consensus of the evolutionary approach, while holding solidly and without reservation to the doctrines of God's creation and God's omnipotence. This text is a must-read for anyone interested in the creation v evolution debate.

Drawing from a variety of topics - biology, biblical chronology, and the origin of human language - and showing their relation to one another in solving this question, author Werner Gitt reveals that evolution is not only bad science, it also violates Scripture. Written for the layman, but with a scientific slant, this compelling book devastates Darwinian arguments for the origin of our universe and planet. In helping Christians answer attacks on their faith, Gitt addresses relevant subjects such as: the origin of man, the origin of human language, human behavior, the origin and future of the universe.

In the April edition 2019 of the magazine Christianity Today I saw charts that gave the percentage of Christians who believe in some form of evolution. I was surprised. I wrote this book to answer question that I think Christians should ask. The book's title is Christians and Evolution. The subtitle is: Most Christians Think Evolution and Christianity are Compatible. What Did Jesus, Paul, Peter and John Say? What Does the Fine-tuning of the Universe Say? I used the word "most" because 75% of Christians in the US believe in evolution. 58% said God had a role in the evolution and 17% said God had no role. I projected the US statistic world wide. What did Jesus say and believe? We know Jesus believed in the Genesis account of creation because when he was asked about divorce, he went to the creation story. He quoted from Genesis 1:27 and said, Haven't you read, that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female. Then he said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. . .Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate. Matthew 19:4-6 He was quoting from Genesis 2:24. He used that first marriage which was between Adam and Eve as the example that sets precedence for all other marriages. It is obvious that Jesus believed in creation. He never said anything about evolutionist. We also know Jesus believed in the Genesis account of creation because he spoke about Abel. Abel was Adam and Eve's second son. Jesus mentioned Abel because he was the first martyr. He was killed by his older brother Cain. So Jesus believed that the first biblical family was made up of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel. Later Seth and more children were born. Jesus never said, Adam was the first person in the long line of evolution that looked more like a man than a gorilla. It is obvious that people who believe in evolution and call themselves Christians are not paying attention to what Jesus thought and taught? I would hate to stand before Jesus at the judgment day and have him accuse me and say, Bob, you unwittingly called me an ignorant liar by saying things that are opposite to what I said. What did Paul say? Paul said in Romans 5:12 that sin and death entered the world through one man. He named Adam twice as that one man. He said, One man, Adam, brought condemnation. One man, Jesus Christ, brought justification. 5:16 It is obvious that the Apostle Paul believed the Genesis account of creation and the fall of mankind through the sin of Adam and the salvation of mankind through Jesus Christ. What did Peter say? In 1 Peter 1:19, 20 he said, Christ was chosen before the creation of the world to redeem us with his precious blood. John starts his Gospel with "In the beginning." just like Genesis 1:1 starts the Bible. He said about Jesus Christ, "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made." 1:3 So John believes in creation. He believes Jesus Christ was the Creator. Does he say anything about evolution? No. I think evolution would have been a very strange concept to him. Nowhere in the Bible is evolution mentioned. Evolutionist make wild guesses using millions and billions of years. Creationist have the Bible. It has genealogies going back to Adam so we know where we came from. Genesis 5 gives the names of the fathers and how old the fathers were when the sons were born. If we add up those dates we know that it was 1,658 years from the creation of Adam to the flood in Noah's time. In Genesis 11 we have another genealogy with dates. If we add those dates we get 260 years. The total years from the creation of Adam to the birth of Abraham is 1,918 years. We have a written account of where and when we started. I wrote about the fine-tuning of the universe. There are at least 200 places where the Universe is fine-tuned. The fine-tuning indicates a designer- God.

God or Darwin? It is one of the most contentious conflicts of our time. It is also completely unnecessary, according to Joel W. Martin, an evolutionary biologist and ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church USA. In this slim but powerful book, Martin argues that it is not contradictory to be a practicing, faithful Christian who accepts the science of evolution. Martin finds that much of the controversy in the United States over evolution is manufactured and predicated on a complete—and sometimes willful—misapprehension of basic science. Science and religion, he says, serve different purposes and each seeks to answer questions that the other need never address. He believes that many of the polarizing debates about evolution distract from the deeper lessons of Christianity and that literal, fundamentalist readings of the Bible require the faithful to reject not just evolution but many of science's greatest discoveries. Just as the scientific explanation of rainbows is not meant to refute the biblical "rainbow" story of God’s promise, evolutionary theory is not a ploy to disavow the divine. Indeed, Martin shows that the majority of Christians worldwide accept the theory of evolution. He urges his fellow Christians to refuse to participate in the intellectually stifling debate over evolution and creationism/intelligent design.

In this thought-provoking book, born-again Christian Denis O. Lamoureux argues that the God of the Bible created the universe and life through evolution--an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting natural process. In other words, evolution is not the result of blind chance and our creation is not a mistake. Lamoureux challenges the popular assumption that God disclosed scientific facts in the opening chapters of Scripture thousands of years before their discovery by modern science. He contends that in the same way the Lord meets us wherever we happen to be in our lives, the Holy Spirit came down to the level of the inspired biblical writers and used their ancient understanding of origins in order to reveal inerrant, life-changing Messages of Faith. Lamoureux also shares his personal story and struggle in coming to terms with evolution and Christianity.
