Description
No God, No Science: Theology, Cosmology, Biology presents a work of philosophical theology that retrieves the Christian doctrine of creation from the distortions imposed upon it by positivist science and the Darwinian tradition of evolutionary biology.
* Argues that the doctrine of creation is integral to the intelligibility of the world
* Brings the metaphysics of the Christian doctrine of creation to bear on the nature of science
* Offers a provocative analysis of the theoretical and historical relationship between theology, metaphysics, and science
* Presents an original critique and interpretation of the philosophical meaning of Darwinian biology
