About This Book

The author mounts a systematic theological and scientific critique of evolutionary theory, arguing it remains unproven and raises unsolved problems about origins of matter, life, species, and humans; he examines geological, morphological, embryological, and distributional evidence, highlights contested interpretations and absent transitional forms, and questions spontaneous generation and nebular hypotheses; the book surveys dissenting scientific opinions, traces perceived effects of evolutionary ideas on Christian belief and public morals, and concludes that the question demands broader philosophical and theological consideration rather than exclusive reliance on scientific authorities.
