Is it possible to finally end the war between creationists and evolutionists? Hugh Ross, acclaimed apologetic speaker and founder of Reasons to Believe, brings his scholarly wisdom and biblical insights to this issue. Through careful research, a testable model has been developed that seeks to reconcile the goals of the scientific and the Christian community. These pages take a thorough look at this model, while detailing its foundation and future application.
The information in the book is exhaustive, yet comprehensible. A logical progression of ideas is presented, beginning with the strategies and principles behind both perspectives of the earth’s origin. From that point, methods of discussing the validity of these ideas are explored. The rest of the book deals with the model developed by Reasons to Believe, and how it relates to the latest scientific discoveries. The testable features that this model offers, along with its benefits and possible shortcomings, are honestly addressed.
The focused and intense look at this vital issue brings new thoughts as well as hope to a heated debate. The scholarly insights are conveyed to the reader with precise writing and are corroborated by scientific research and biblical study. The finer points of this controversy are examined with purpose, highlighting the need for enthusiastic support of both scientific and theological enterprises.
The diligent reader will be rewarded with a wealth of ideas, as well as a better understanding of this issue. The author has taken great care in presenting this information in an understandable format. Key points are clearly explained, while the addition of graphs, photos, and charts visually enhance the text.

No.
I don't think Hugh Ross's book will be embraced by materialistic evos or divine creationists or intelligent design advocates. Nice try, though.
Does this mean no more religiously-inspired attacks on science? No more "Darwiniacs" and "evilutionists" and "evol doers?"
I would love to see that, but I won't wait up.
Maybe there will be end of religiously-inspired (naturalists/athiests) attacks on Christians? No more "fundamentalists," "bible-thumpers," and what did super-brain Dawkins say about Christianity, that its the equivalent to chid abuse?

The war between the forces of light and dark will continue until Christ returns. But God will continue using Hugh Ross, and others, to win souls one-at-a-time.
What is the testable model?
Lol! I hadn't heard that one....thanks.
I always thought it was more important how we treat each other now that we are here than it is worry about how we got here. The tatics of one side needing to beat the crap out of the other so that their side is "right" over something that is based on faith sounds like muslem fundamentalism to me. But if you feel the need to browbeat those who disagree with your opinion, knowing you're not going to change theirs, go for it.
