Responding To Evolution

The purpose of AgapeVeritas (Love Truth) is to reveal, shed light upon, and glory in the Truth in all the areas of life that count the most: theology, law, politics, culture, and science. That is why it gives me such pleasure to be the first the make widely available Stuart Orr's excellent study on Responding to Evolution. This ten part web-book does a very effective job of propounding the current arguments that define the Creationism vs. Evolution debate. Furthermore, it accomplishes this formidable task in a way that layman can both understand and put to good use. Originally intended as a ten part lesson plan, Responding to Evolution covers all the important controversies: Evolution's impact on society, how the Bible and science relate, first causes, Darwin's thesis, issues around origin of life, what is the doctrine of Intelligent Design. Stu has even included a stimulating discussion on consciousness, the soul and the afterlife.

Having studied this debate over many years I really didn't think there was much to learn, but I was pleasantly surprised. Stu has somehow managed to compile and organize a wide body of information in a very organized and engaging way. For the well informed, Responding to Evolution will provide a good refresher course. For just about everyone else, parents, and students of all stripes, Responding to Evolution can be a valuable and enlightening instrument from which to learn and engage others in intelligent debate.

My small part in this work has been to bring it to the web. Under the terms of the Creative Commons license you are free to use this material, basically, for any educational or non-profit use, including printing and copying.

I hope and pray you will take the time to consider Responding to Evolution. I promise it will open your mind and shed new light on the Truth, the very purpose of this site. Let the debate begin!
