Lecture: And God said, "Let there be evolution!"

Free and Open to the Public

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/a/3/2/event_90190802.jpegCharles Wynn speaks about his book, And God said, "Let there be evolution!": Reconciling the Book of Genesis, the Qur'an, and the Theory of Evolution, a book that deals with the continuing conflict between scientific understandings and religious beliefs, has been published in trade paperback, Kindle, and Nook by All Things That Matter Press.

In this book, a Jewish scientist, David Kay, Conservative Rabbi in Florida, Christian scientist, Howard Van Till, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Physics and Astronomy at Calvin College in Michigan, and Muslim scientist, T.O. Shanavas, M.D., pediatrician in Michigan, present scientific evidence in support of the Theory of Evolution and then explain how they reconcile that theory with their religion.

Each concludes that accepting evolution does not require abandoning one's faith.

Created in response to 9/11, the book addresses the continuing conflict between science teaching and religious beliefs, the dangerous effects of scriptural literalism, and heightened interest in interfaith initiatives.

This is the fourth in a quartet of books about science, pseudoscience, and religion by Charles M. Wynn, Sr., and Arthur W. Wiggins. It is available at AllThingsThatMatterPress.com (http://allthingsthatmatterpress.com/) or Amazon.com.
