McGrew 330 $aThe debate between divine action, or faith, and natural selection, or science, is garnering tremendous interest. This book ventures well beyond the usual, contrasting American Protestant and atheistic points of view, and also includes the perspectives of Jews, Muslims, and Roman Catholics. It contains arguments from the various proponents of intelligent design, creationism, and Darwinism, and also covers the sensitive issue of how to incorporate evolution into the secondary school biology curriculum. Comprising contributions from prominent, award-winning authors, the book also contains dialogs 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aNatural selection 606 $aReligion and science 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aNatural selection. 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a576.8 701 $aGordon$b Richard$f1943-$0127163 701 $aSeckbach$b J$g(Joseph)$065591 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822680603321 996 $aDivine action and natural selection$94114328 997 $aUNINA
