A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
Biologist Kenneth Miller explains evolutionary evidence, challenges creationism and intelligent design, and argues that evolutionary processes remain compatible with belief in God.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It provides an accessible, scientifically serious bridge for travelers who have been told that evolution and faith cannot coexist. Its value is both explanatory and permission-giving.
Good starting place if…
You want a working biologist to explain evolutionary evidence while also showing why accepting it need not eliminate belief in God.
Know before you begin…
Miller writes as a Roman Catholic scientist and argues both against creationism and against atheistic conclusions drawn from evolution. Scientific examples reflect the book’s publication era, and compatibility is argued rather than universally established.
