Beyond the Creation & Evolution Debate

Beyond the Creation & Evolution Debate

FREE Using Links Below

Christians hold a variety of views on evolution, from complete acceptance to outright rejection, and several views in between. In October 2024 we offered a 90-minute webinar with Prof. Denis Lamoureux of the University of Alberta, who shared about five major views on creation held by Christians and how they handle the challenge of evolutionary biology. It was not recorded, but here's a link to a talk on the same topic provided by Dr. Lamoreux:

Beyond the "Evolution" vs. "Creation" Debate
- video (mp4) 48 minutes
- handout (pdf)

This material is ideal for anyone with questions about Genesis and science - yourself, family members, even educators.  Denis is a respected scholar with doctorates in theology and biology (as well as dentistry). He is perfectly positioned to teach intelligently on this sometimes-contentious topic.

Dr. Lamoreux has also provided the following links to additional supporting material, including complimentary (and complementary) courses with lecture video, handouts, and notes.

God and science in harmony with one another

The tendency for many Christians to “check their brains at the door” when confronted with scientific evidences on the topic of evolution I believe has been a disservice to both a) our Lord and b) seeking scientists all over the world. With a uniquely qualified background in both theology and biology, Professor Lamoureux, together with Dr. Jacoby, shed light on more nuanced middle ground positions with much higher probabilities than either of the two classic extremes of “young earth creation” or “atheistic evolution”. The material will challenge your thinking in wonderfully rich ways, and leave you in a more mature and well thought-out place by the end. Grateful to both of them for distilling complex fact based material, deepening my faith in “how God did it” in the process!

Yes, it's material! Glad it was such a good experience. One more Lamoureux product: https://scienceetfoi.com/diaporamas-et-cours-en-ligne-denis-lamoureux-science-religion-creation-evolution/

That's the same material, essentially, but in French

Merci beaucoup, Alex

Finally, Accurate Verbiage and Clarity

Dr. Lamoureux has finally given me the verbiage to communicate with others where I stand in my convictions after years of personal Bible study and reflection. And the clarity with which he speaks benefits both laity and laymen.

Happy you've found words for your convictions!

Denis Lamoureux has written 6 or 7 great books, like The Bible and Ancient Science: Principles of Interpretation; Evolution: Scripture and Nature Say Yes; and his flagship book Evolutionary Creation; and I Love Jesus & I Accept Evolution.
