Deborah & Loren Haarsma - Creation, Design, Evolution, and Human Origins - Part 1

Deborah & Loren Haarsma are professors in the Physics & Astronomy Department at Calvin College. Deborah (Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology) researches galaxies and cosmology; Loren (Ph.D., Harvard University) studies electrical activity of nerve cells. Together, they have explored the science and theology of origins, speaking at numerous conferences, colleges, and churches.

The "Big Bang." Creation. Evolution. Design. Can faith and science get along?

When it comes to the history of the universe, many believe that science and faith are mutually exclusive. But not physics professors Deborah and Loren Haarsma. For them, God is sovereign over every part of life. In their book, Origins, they explore what both God's Word and God's world teach us about creation, evolution, and design.

The Haarsmas clearly explain the science - what is extablished and what is speculative. They take a reformed view, focussing on areas where all Christians agree, while sympathetically presenting the strengths and weaknesses of positions when Christians differ.

Origins offers helpful guidance for Christians who seek to resolve their differences and come to a deeper, more biblical understanding of the origins of the universe.

Macroevolution is not a scientific theory

.

There is a concept that if you deny macroevolution, biology collapses.

All knowledge in biology is microevolution

if macroevolution were not true,

we would continue to have all the knowledge in biology because is only microevolution what we know.

Is that so hard to understand?
