And God Said, "Let There Be Evolution!": Reconciling the Book of Genesis, the Qur'an, and the Theory of Evolution

This book answers "YES!" to the question, "Is it possible to reconcile the Theory of Evolution with the Scriptures?" Accepting evolution does not require abandoning one's faith. Created in response to 9/11, this book addresses the continuing conflict between science teaching and religious beliefs, the dangerous effects of scriptural literalism, and heightened interest in interfaith initiatives. A JEWISH scientist (David Kay, Conservative Rabbi in Florida), CHRISTIAN scientist (Howard Van Till, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus of Astronomy and Physics at Calvin College in Michigan), and MUSLIM scientist (T. O. Shanavas, M. D., pediatrician in Michigan) present scientific evidence for the Theory of Evolution and then explain how they reconcile that theory with the scriptural sources and beliefs of their religions.
