John MacDonald Smith, John Quenby

"The year 2009 is the Anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th publication of his book on The Origin of Species. The ideas which Darwin stimulated lie at the heart of our understanding of the natural world. They offer and elegant scientific account which elicits a positive response from and gives much to theology. Yet in recent years the Intelligent Design movement amongst creationists in the United States in opposition, not only to Darwinism, but also and consistently, to contemporary Western values and to mainstream liberal theology. It is now infiltrating the United Kingdom. In this book a group of scientists and theologians unite to honour Charles Darwin, expressing their common conviction that Darwinian evolution marks a very great advance in human understanding of the world and that Intelligent Design is an unproductive dead end. Intelligent Faith will be of interest not only to thinking people with an interest in theology and science but also to sixth formers, school discussion groups and university societies."--Page 4 of cover.

Marvin L. Lubenow

When it comes to human evolution, only the fossils tell the real story. With over thirty-five years of research in the areas of creationism and evolutionism, Professor Marvin Lubenow seeks to disprove both the philosophical and scientific untruths in the theory of human evolution. Lubenow does not place himself in the role of ultimate authority, merely as the man with the courage to coalesce his argument for creationism in a scientific community where dissention is scorned. In addition to providing some splendid arguments which expose the weaknesses of evolutionary assumptions and explanations for both alleged human evolution and evolution in general, Lubenow discusses the actual fossil specimens with their official designations, their putative ages, and their classification according to evolutionists.
