The Monthly Newsletter of Answers In Creation November 2005 (Volume 1, Number 11)

New Articles Hebrews 4 Critique of RATE's Zircon-Helium Diffusion Project   Featured Old-Earth Book Origin of the Human Species Dr. Dennis Bonnette Although there are hundreds of books dealing with evolutionary theory and human origins, the large majority fall into one of two categories:  - Conventional natural science that embrace either atheistic naturalism or theistic evolutionism that fails to support basic elements of Christian theology particularly the historicity of Adam and Eve and the reality of Original Sin  - Young earth creationism whose scientific credentials are suspect. Origin of the Human Species differs in that it shows in great detail how conventional human evolutionary theory is entirely compatible with sound Scriptural interpretation and traditional theology. Dr. Bonnette explores the force of opposing views, but adds philosophical analysis that affirms the absolute need for God's continuous creative presence in any metaphysically complete explanation of the world.  NOTE: This book falls under the category of Theistic Evolution
