This book addresses a question at the heart of the current debate about the relationship between science and religion, in particular between that form of evolutionary biology known as Darwinism, and the basic tenets of the Christian faith. That question is: can someone who accepts Darwin's theory of natural selection subscribe at the same time to the essential claims of Christianity? Adopting a balanced perspective on the subject, Michael Ruse offers a serious examination of both Darwinism and Christianity. He covers a wide range of topics, from the Scopes Monkey Trial to claims about the religious significance of extraterrestrials. He deals with major figures in the current science/religion debate (for example Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould and E.O. Wilson on the science side, as well as Arthur Peacocke, Robert J. Russell and Keith Ward on the religion side). He considers in some detail the claims of the new creationism, and reveals some surprising parallels between Darwinian materialists and traditional thinkers such as St. Augustine. Michael Ruse argues that, although it is at times difficult for a Darwinian to embrace Christian belief, it is by no means inconceivable. At the same time he suggests ways in which a Christian believer should have no difficulty accepting evolution in general, and Darwinism in particular. Writing with verve and avoiding technical jargon, Michael Ruse has produced an important contribution to a sometimes overheated debate for anyone interested in, and perhaps even troubled by these issues, who seeks an informed and judicious guide. Michael Ruse is professor of philosophy and zoology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. He is the author ofmany books on evolutionary biology. In addition, he has published several hundred articles and many book reviews. He is the editor of the Cambridge Series in the Philosophy of Biology and founding editor of the journal Biology & Philosophy.

Philosophy of biology - Philosophy of biology (also called, rarely, biophilosophy) is a subfield of philosophy of science, which deals with epistemological, metaphysical, and ethical issues in the biological and biomedical sciences. Although philosophers of science and philosophers generally have long been interested in biology (e.

Public Library of Science - The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is a nonprofit open access scientific publishing project aimed at creating a library of scientific journals and other scientific literature under an open content license. As of 2005 it publishes PLoS Biology, PLoS Medicine, PLoS Computational Biology, PLoS Genetics and PLoS Pathogens.

Triple Award Science - Triple Award Science, unlike Single award science and Double Award Science, is not combined GCSE study of science - rather, the term is a short-hand reference to individual GCSE subjects in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. For example, if one studies Double Award Science, on their GCSE certificate, they will be credited with two GCSEs in Double Award Science.

National Medal of Science - The National Medal of Science, also called the Presidential Medal of Science, is an honor given by the President of the United States to individuals in science and engineering who have made important contributions to the advancement of knowledge in the fields of behavioral and social sciences, biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics. The Committee on the National Medal of Science under the National Science Foundation (NSF) is responsible for recommending medal candidates to the President.

Science is both a process of gaining knowledge, and the organized body of knowledge gained by this scientific process. Atomic theory, for example, implies that a granite boulder which appears as heavy, hard, solid, grey, etc. is actually a combination of subatomic particles with none of these properties, moving very rapidly in an area consisting mostly of empty space. Outside of those conditions, Newton's Laws do, and more, general relativity accounts for all of the lives, structures, growth, and classification of species in their natural habitats, and raises critical thinking questions to initiate the steps taken in the scientific method, and the system is generally the scientific knowledge that has not (yet) been well supported nor ruled out by experiment.
