The End of Christianity:Finding God in an Evil World - William Dembski

epub & mobi
Traditional Christian theology has sought to root the origins of suffering and evil in human sin. The big problem with this is the fact that contemporary science clearly indicates that earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, animal suffering, and disease long pre-date the appearance of humanity. How can Christians take science seriously and yet hold on to traditional theology? One solution is to defend young earth creationism but Dembski argues that the science does not allow us to take this way out. Is the only alternative to abandon the historic Christian position? In this highly original and innovative book, which is sure to be the subject of much discussion, William Dembski argues that there is a third way for theology. We can, argues Dembski, affirm that natural evils are the result of human sin whilst at the same time maintaining that such evils chronologically precede their cause! This book is devoted to the defence of this surprising claim.
