A Proposed Creationist Alternative to Evolutionism (IBRI Research Reports Book 12) (English Edition)

A series of four lectures which suggest a way in which both Biblical and scientific data concerning the nature of God's creative activity can be synthesized in a unified creationist view as an alternative to evolutionism. In Lecture One a case is made for the need for such an alternative and a survey/appraisal of various creationist views is made. In Lecture Two an outline-summary of the creative events of Genesis 1-2 is proposed, incorporating both Biblical and scientific data. In Lecture Three the problem of the proper relationship of Biblical and scientific chronologies is analyzed and a time-frame for the structuring of God's creative activity is proposed. In Lecture Four the question of the meaning of "kinds" is explored; the paleontological record is reviewed, and a proposal for the synthesis of the Biblical and paleontological data is offered in which these two records of God's creative activity provide mutual intelligibility.
