RS 251A - Evolution and Creation

Institution:

Merrimack College

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine scientific theories of evolution (cosmic and biological) in the light of Christian claims about the Bible, God, and Creation. We will endeavor to separate the scientific content of the theories from religious and philosophical biases that often distort the conclusions that can be drawn from them. To that end we will study the historical development of the theories of evolution and examine the scientific and religious reaction to those theories, not only in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but also recent reactions and developments, both scientific and religious. Prerequisite: RS100A. Satisfies the second institutional requirement in religious and theological studies. Three hours a week.
