Purpose in the Living World?: Creation and Emergent Evolution

Jacob Klapwijk considers the stark choice many believers and non-believers face between religious notions concerning the origins of life and the contemporary findings of evolutionary science. He offers an alternative to both and an attempt to bridge the gap between them, via the idea of ‘emergent evolution’.

Jacob Klapwijk offers the theory of emergent evolution as a way of bridging the gap between creationism and evolutionary science.

Jacob Klapwijk is Professor Emeritus of the Department of Philosophy, Free University, Amsterdam.
