An Evolving Dialogue

"In An Evolving Dialogue, editor James Miller and some of today's best-known biologists and theologians explore what the debate is all about. Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, for instance, challenges the Darwinian idea of natural selection, arguing instead that evolution is marked by a process of extinction and emergence that he calls "punctuated equilibrium." Theologian John Haught asks whether or not evolution indeed rules out the existence of God.

This multidisciplinary resource presents a basic introduction to contemporary evolutionary biology. An Evolving Dialogue demonstrates that there can and must be constructive engagement between evolutionary science and religious and ethical reflection."--BOOK JACKET.
