Page 6: Faith in a Darwinian World

To Consider

• What do we make of the ‘debate’ between science and religion?

• Where should we place the emphasis?

Page 7: Faith in a Darwinian World

The Bible- 'Word of God' or 'Word of Warning'?

Page 8: Faith in a Darwinian World

To Consider

• What does the Bible look like through post-Darwinian eyes?

• How does the life conducted by ‘divine Man’ (Christ) compare with the life conducted by ‘biological Man’?

Are we nearly there yet?

Page 11: Faith in a Darwinian World

To Consider

• The juxtaposition of the biological and the spiritual.

• What is salvation? What/Who gets ‘saved’?

Page 16: Faith in a Darwinian World

'Poor man, he just stands and stares at a yellow flower for minutes at a time.

He would be far better off with something to do.'

Page 17: Faith in a Darwinian World

To Consider

• Having reflected upon and become acutely aware of the finitude of our being, from whence comes our security? How do we find it? Or, does it find us?
