Christian Writings - Evolution Creation Debate

In Gary Chiang's previous book he describes how theories and explanations are formed. It is usually assumed that they are logical deductions based on fact, but Dr. Chiang ably demonstrates, and illustrates amply, that more than logic goes into a theory. There is a bias, a leaning towards which is not simply objective but has a large measure of emotion in it, transforming the objective bias into a prejudice. It complicates discussion because of its "unreasonable" nature. Resolutions of debates, whether within Science or Christianity or whether between them, will require recognition of the role of prejudice in explanations, in our search for Truth.

It is a foundational book in understanding not only how scientists work but how Christians work. If honestly read, you will discover your own prejudices!

This book is used as a textbook in a university-level faith and science course, and will serve as a valuable resource for Christian teachers and for church leaders.

	Dr Chiang's latest book is now available A Christians' Guide to DEFEATING EVOLUTION: A Biological Approach
	In this book, Dr. Gary Chiang shows how easy it is to refute the theory of evolution if you know anything about the science of biology. Too often a Christian will defend the Bible and creationism on terms dictated by an evolutionist. Christians end up spending a lot of effort trying to prove that Creation Science is a science, or that the earth is only a few thousand years old, or that there is intelligent design (ID) in the universe. These “smoke screens” are set up to mask the one fundamental truth that evolutionists fear the most: Biology, the science upon which the theory of evolution is based, has absolutely no empirical proof for evolution.

	how to order Overcoming Prejudice in the Evolution / Creation Debate Third Edition of Arthur Custance's Book Two Men Called Adam The theological dimension in the creation / evolution debate 3rd edition, editors E. M. White and R. G. Chiang
	This book is more than just a study on origins - whether by creation or by evolution. It empowers the Christian to face the challenges of theistic evolution. It goes beyond the origin of mankind to illustrate the tremendous importance to Christians of knowing what our true origins are. Taking the Genesis account of creation as a historical fact, Dr. Custance shows how this fact can be supported both by science AND a Christian theology.
	What is often overlooked in the creation/evolution debate is that, in Scripture, there are TWO Adams to account for, not just one. These two, the Adam of Eden and the Adam of Bethlehem, stand in direct apposition to each other, each being a prototype and a representative of the other. Therefore, whatever can be said with certainty about the Last Adam must be assumed for the First Adam, as he was originally formed. Using this premise, Dr. Custance shows HOW the creation of the first Adam exactly as Scripture sets forth is the only view that really makes sense of the relationship between these two men. This book is used as a textbook in a university-level faith and science course, and will serve as a valuable resource for Christian teachers and for church leaders. 210 pp., indexed, ISBN 0-919857-70-1		Table of contents

	Also by Arthur Custance Doorway Papers: Evolution or Creation?		Arthur C Custance 1910-1985
	Volume IV of Doorway Papers is on the subject of Origins, particularly the origin of the earth, of monotheism, and of man himself. In dealing with the question of the age of the earth and how it came into being, four alternative views are presented with one being discussed in depth ("The Preparation of the Earth Before Man"). Two Papers show that the evidence does not support the evolutionary view in the matter of the origin of religion ("Primitive Monotheism and the Origin of Polytheism") and in the origin of Man ("Convergence and the Origin of Man"). One Paper ("The Survival of the UN-fit") demonstrates the irrationality of the evolutionary faith in the 'survival of the fittest'. The final Paper, "Is Man an Animal?" is important because it shows that man is not merely quantitatively different from all other creatures, but qualitatively different ? these differences are discusssed in 6 chapters. The conclusion in the last chapter is that man was created a unique creature because he was to become a "house" for God Himself to be manifested in the flesh, and that this Incarnation really demands a uniqueness in the constitution of man which puts him in a category by himself completely separate from all other animal forms.
