Overview
This volume is offered as an example of the potential for dialogue between science and religion that is possible beyond the more popular convictions that science and religion are mutually exclusive. The papers offer a better appreciation of the complexity of thinking in both scientific and religious traditions on evolution and the fertile common ground that is still in great need of exploration. The essays examine evolution and the science and religion dialogue, evolution on the grand scale, the evolution of life on earth, Darwin and neo-Darwinism, the appearance of homo sapiens, the evolution of culture, society and religion, the evolution of ethics and morality, and human impact on the evolution of the environment. For those interested in evolutionary and religious theory.Synopsis
