Evolution--or the broader topic of origins--has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture.
Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions:
- Young Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis)
- Old Earth (Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe)
- Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos)
- Intelligent Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute)
The contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing questions such as:
- What is your position on origins - understood broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in particular?
- What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in defense of your position?
- How do you demarcate and correlate evidence about origins from current science and from divine revelation?
- What hinges on answering these questions correctly?
This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his or her view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ.
Figures, a book list, and footnotes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

The only sane, scientifically based views are those presented by Meyer (who's name isn't even written correctly on the cover image of this audiobook btw), and these are published elsewhere in much more detail. Ken Ham is an angry fanaticist who's best arguments are all seriously based on a literal interpretation of the whole bible. He repeatedly criticises the other contributors (who aren't extremist enough for his taste) by furiously asking: "Where's your commitment to the scripture?!" That's the kind of quality you get here; and I think that says it all. He doesn't even shy away from condemning differently minded people to hell - I mean: come on, why give such a guy a platform? Just leave him to join the angry white guys in Facebook comments.
Ross is intellectually pretty much the same level, just without the apparent anger.
Haarsma follows a more balanced approach that nonetheless also fanatically overemphasises the literal value of the Bible and is thereby probably even the most self-contradictory of the four views presented here.
Three of these are utterly worthless. Their approaches are doomed to fail from the start, and this book is just shocking, presumably as informative as flat earthler publications. I don't think it does Meyer's position any good to be associated with this nonsense.
I'm definitely going to return this audiobook.
Fanaticism edging on insanity
