Adam, Where are You? (STEAM Grant Series)

June 1, 2018 by Gerald Rau 5 Comments

ESN is currently creating a Faith/Science curriculum for young adult small groups.  We've partnered with InterVarsity graduate student discussion groups to identify faith/science questions that are important to emerging scholars, and we're commissioning thoughtful Christians in science or theology/philosophy to explore those questions in this series at the ESN blog.  We will publish these posts as a booklet curriculum for campus groups.

In this post, I'm going to discuss three Christian views of creation (young earth creationism, old earth creationism and theistic evolution) with the goal of identifying points of agreement and points of tension with each other and with the view from science discussed in my previous posts.

A comparison of these views is shown in the table. … [Read more...] about Christian Views of Creation
