| Résumé : |
In Evolution and Christian Faith Dr. Davidheiser exposes the many deficiencies and contradictions in the theory of evolution. The author’s doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in Zoology with an emphasis on Genetics especially qualifies him for this task. His conversion from liberalism did not occur until after he had earned his Ph.D. Thus he writes as a trained and once-convinced evolutionist whose doubts of that theory grew out of painstaking research into its teachings.
To document his criticism Davidheiser has in many instances quoted from evolutionists who are recognized experts in their particular fields. The fact that so many of these men have expressed serious doubts as to the rehability of the basic tenets of the theory of evolution should impress those who would fail to be impressed by arguments based on Biblical revelation. This is an important book and careful consideration of tire evidence that Dr. Davidheiser has amassed should prove to be a fascinating and thought-provoking study for the open-minded reader. |
