Creation and the Origin of
Species: The Biblical
Perspective on Evolution
by Matthew R. McClure
Published 2012: 148 pages
FROM THE BACK COVER:
The existence of evolution does not contradict the scriptures of the Bible.
In fact, natural selection requires a literal interpretation of Genesis.
The Bible does not tell us the age of the earth, yet the biblical account is
consistent with the geologic fossil record. Creationism and
Intelligent Design are not science, but can serve as applications of
science. The confusion, biases, and misconceptions surrounding the
entire creation-evolution controversy are widespread, and are a major
hindrance to the spread of the Christian Gospel.
In Creation
and the Origin of Species, Dr. McClure provides an analysis of the major
tenets of evolution, creation, and intelligent design, and offers a
comprehensive biblically-based viewpoint of the fossil record, evolutionary
theory, and the relationship between creation and science.
OEM STATEMENT: This is an excellent, concise book about how
to merge evolution with the Bible, while maintaining beliefs in inerrancy
and a literal interpretation of Genesis.
