Many became advocates for this worldview, influencing others. However, the author challenges the strength of the evolutionary argument, presenting extensive appendices with resources from scientists and philosophers who support the idea of a designed universe. The work emphasizes the need for compelling reasons to question evolution and offers substantial material for those reconsidering creationism.
It is commonly assumed that C S Lewis was a theistic evolutionist. In fact, he was one of the most effective anti-evolutionist of the last century. He did not make his case against evolution from biology, but rather from logic, reason, and history. This book is another reason to appreciate the life and work of Lewis and his contribution to Christian thought.
