Beyond the Creation & Evolution Debate

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.
