Synopsis
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Drawing on both scriptural evidence and scientific investigation, Van Till constructs a theologically sound and scientifically coherent perspective on the nature of the cosmos. Since evolution and creation deal with distinctly different questions, he argues, both concepts can be taught with integrity -- as complementary views of the universe and its history.
