This is the third of a trilogy following earlier books "Old Earth Creationism", and "Historical Creationism". It is an examination of creation, evolution, and the intelligent design debate;
It argues
Genesis 1 is an account of a recent special creation of a habitable environment for mankind focused on Mesopotamia. It is exemplary for all of the planet (and the universe), teaching that God is a creator of all things.
Evolution is a matter for Science and to be considered in the pre-Adamic space. Genesis presupposes the existence of the planet, and Science has shown that there is an ancient history of life on earth. Philosophically, Science cannot exclude divine action (special creation) from this history.
Genesis gives us warrant for seeing the creative acts of God throughout the history of life on earth and nature shows this to have been the case in its evidence of intelligent design.
