Evolution, Creation & Science
Download PDF Book
Students often have questions about science and faith, and particularly creation and evolution. Evolution, Creation and Science has been written to equip teachers to answer these questions. In plain English, with many helpful diagrams, it explains why evolutionists hold the views they do and how advocates of Creation and Intelligent Design respond to their arguments. Many scientists do not accept the broad claims of Darwinists and reject the assertion that the Darwinian process could produce the living world. Moreover, creationists argue that the facts of science fit far better within a creation worldview. Evolution, Creation and Science, covers all these issues and explains the debate in the context of Christian and atheistic worldviews and the history of science.
An inspiring, well-documented exposition of the world-wide controversy between creation and evolution. ... All responsible scholars in biological science should familiarise themselves with this easily comprehensible essay. Highly recommended!

The Christian Roots of Science
Download PDF Notes and Powerpoint file
Before science could begin, it was necessary for people to believe certain things about the natural world, particularly that it is orderly and governed by natural laws. Leading historians of science have argued that this worldview arose out of Christian theology.
Einstein's Heroes
Download PDF Booklet and Powerpoint file
An excellent, well referenced and informative summary of the scientific achievements of three of the world’s greatest scientists: Newton, Faraday and Maxwell. These men were all highly esteemed by Albert Einstein and were, in fact, his ‘heroes’. What this booklet highlights is the extent to which these three great scientists were all devout believers in the God of the Bible and how their understanding of Creation of the Universe described in the book of Genesis both motivated and informed their scientific discoveries.

Galileo, Science and the Church
Download PDF Booklet and Powerpoint file
Galileo Galilei was one of the greatest scientists of the seventeenth century. Despite this, he spent the final years of his life under house arrest, the Roman Catholic Church having found him guilty of conduct that had rendered him “suspected of heresy”. Some claim that this is an example of an age-old conflict between science and faith. A more careful examination of the facts, however, leads to a very different conclusion.
It is my privilege to endorse Galileo, Science and the Church. What I enjoyed about the scholarly approach displayed in this booklet is an integrative approach to working with science and faith. The work clearly indicates that science and faith are not two opposing forces. ...
