Most books on the subject of evolution are written with the intention of convincing the reader of a particular position, either for or against evolution. In contrast, this book attempts to provide an objective view of the science, including the strengths and weaknesses of each of the major areas of research. Both creationist and evolutionist positions on the science are presented to allow the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. The discussion of the science behind evolution is placed in the broader context of Christian views of how science and the Bible interrelate. This book is for those who feel that they don't fit neatly into the creationism or evolution camps, and are looking for a balanced view of the science, what it says and doesn't say about the origin and diversity of life on earth. This is not a book about the history of the creationism/evolution debate and it contains no discussion about which scientists championed which ideas, what movements came and went, and the various court cases that have addressed evolution. This book focuses on the current state of scientific knowledge, and presents some ways in which the facts and Biblical descriptions might fit together.
