Books like The creationists by Ronald L. Numbers

Name: The creationists
Author: Ronald L. Numbers

Ronald L. Numbers offers a detailed historical analysis of creationism, examining its origins in late‑nineteenth‑ and early‑twentieth‑century Christian denominations and its evolution into a global phenomenon. The book traces the shift from early acceptance of the earth’s antiquity to the contemporary insistence that most fossils date back to Noah’s flood. It critically reviews the rise of flood geology, the resurgence of anti‑evolution sentiment since the 1960s, and the development of creation science think tanks. Numbers also explains how creationism, once viewed as largely American, has spread internationally and found expression within Judaism and Islam.

First publish date: 1992

Genre: Religion & Spirituality/Christianity

📘 Finding Darwin's God

by Kenneth R. Miller

"Miller offers a thoughtful, cutting-edge analysis of the key issues that seem to divide science and religion. As his narrative shows, the difficulties that evolution presents for Western religions are more apparent than real. Properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning not only to a strictly scientific view of the world, but also to a spiritual one. Miller's resolution of the issues that seem to divide God from evolution will serve as a guide to anyone interested in the classic questions of ultimate meaning and human origins."--BOOK JACKET
