ABSTRACT: Lamoureux’s academic specialty focuses on the modern origins controversy. In “Beyond the ‘Evolution vs. Creation’ Debate” he argues that the simple either/or approach to origins inhibits everyone from making informed choices. He asserts that if the limits of both conservative Christianity and evolutionary biology are respected, then their relationship is not only complementary, but also necessary. This view of origins is known as evolutionary creationism. Concisely stated, it claims that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained and sustained evolutionary process.
Denis is an engaging speaker, and his presentations are always lively, intellectually stimulating events that foster plenty of discussion and debate. For anyone with any sort of interest in the origins dialogue, this is an event to make time for.
And hey…why not grab a copy of one of Denis’ books in the meantime?
