Summary
new topic in the already extensive discussion between science and religion that is worthy of yet another book? Have the major camps settled for repeating their familiar refrains that simply appeal to their committed constituencies? Despite some indications that our culture is experiencing science–religion fatigue, we contend that there is still exciting virgin territory to explore at a particular overlap between Christianity and science – namely, where the doctrine of the Incarnation intersects with modern evolutionary biology. Specifically, this intriguing overlap occurs where the belief that God became human in Jesus Christ meets evolutionary genetics and the relatively new field of genomics, the study of genomes, an organism’s complete set of DNA. That exploration is the purpose of this book.
