re: #85 Alouette

I started reading “The Challenge of Creation” over the weekend. Just got through the “introduction” which includes a whole bunch of disclaimers warning hard-core “Creationists” to stay away from this book, and also warns against “quote-mining.” Finally the author says he is “Public Enemy #1” to people who have never read the book, just denunciations of it.

I am just finishing the first chapter, which is an overview of the philosophy of acknowledging a Designer of the Universe, while also accepting and investigating the details (evolution) of how the Universe developed.

Here’s a link to that book:

The Challenge of Creation: Judaism’s Encounter with Science, Cosmology, and Evolution

Looks interesting- I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)
