Creation - chance or design?Origins simply explainedCREATION - CHANCE OR DESIGN? David Tyler possesses a wealth of scientific and theological knowledge, together with an ability to express that knowledge simply and clearly. His book provides an invaluable overview of the biblical doctrines of the creation and the fall and reveals how important these topics are to the creation/evolution debate. It shows how rich is the Bible's view of origins compared with the random, meaningless context provided by the theory of evolution. The subject matter is wide-ranging. Having dealt with deep, foundational issues, it also covers the relevance of the doctrine of creation to everyday matters, including marriage, the family, and environmental concerns. The scientific case for creation is argued using information from both the living and non-living world. The book is the latest in The Guide series and each chapter contains questions for further study or discussion. It would therefore be very useful in a group context, given that the creation/evolution debate is as important and as topical as ever. It would also be suitable to give to a new Christian or seeker. In recent years there have been many publications connected to the subject of origins. This one is to be particularly welcomed as both a readable and reliable summary of an important issue.
