Home Coming to Terms with Evolution:
A Personal Story

Return
 
I have wrestled with the issue of origins for well over twenty years. I lost my boyhood Christian faith in first year college because of evolution, and eventually I became an atheist. Two years after graduation I returned to faith and embraced young earth creation. During my masters degree in theology, I realised that it was not possible to read the Biblical creation accounts literally. And during my PhD in biology, I saw the evidence for evolution, some of which I will share in this presentation. My voyage ends with me accepting both God and evolution, a view of origins called "evolutionary creation".

There is a shorter verse of my story on You Tube. It was made during the 2010 American Scientific Affiliation Meeting at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.
