Evolutionary Creation - A Christian Approach to Evolution - Part 1

Описание: Denis O. Lamoureux - http://www.ualberta.ca/~dlamoure/ - is an assistant professor of science and religion at St. Joseph's College in the University of Alberta. His appointment is the first tenure-track position in Canada dedicated to teaching and research on the relationship between scientific discovery and Christian faith.

Lamoureux's academic specialty focuses on the modern origins controversy. In "Beyond the 'Evolution vs. Creation' Debate" he argues that the simple either/or approach to origins inhibits everyone from making informed choices. He asserts that if the limits of both conservative Christianity and evolutionary biology are respected, then their relationship is not only complementary, but also necessary. This view of origins is known as Evolutionary Creation - http://www.ualberta.ca/~dlamoure/3Evo....

Concisely stated, it claims that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained and sustained evolutionary process.

Lamoureux holds three earned doctoral degrees: dentistry, theology, and biology. He is a member of the executive council of the Canadian Scientific and Christian Affiliation, a Fellow of the American Scientific Affiliation, and is cited in the Who's Who of Theology and Science. Lamoureux lectures throughout Canada and the United States in both Christian and secular academic institutions. In 2001 he received the University of Alberta Students' Union 'Recognizing Talented Teaching' Award.
