Book description
Despite the “vast preponderance of evidence” cited by numerous scientists in all disciplines, the debate between creationism and materialism continues to rage with the same intensity it has since the HMS Beagle first returned to port, with most of the opposition stemming from the Christian church. Increasingly, however, many denominations have shifted to the teaching of a kind of “theistic evolution”, attempting to rationalize biblical teaching in light of the current scientific paradigm. Are the dissenting opinions then simply the impotent fury of uneducated backwater evangelical fundamentalist zealots? Or are there, possibly, scientifically and theological valid reasons for challenging the established model in favor of the orthodox position? In his book, Creation and Change, Douglas Kelly argues that, yes, the prevailing evolutionary notions can be questioned while still maintaining academic integrity. The author himself is quick to point out that he is a theologian, not a scientist, and accordingly his primary argument is from biblical exegesis. In order to reconcile the claims of modern science with the biblical account of creation, proponents of theistic evolution teach that the first several chapters of Genesis must be interpreted symbolically. In order to provide the vast amount of time which evolution requires, the days described in Genesis 1 must actually be eras spanning millions of years. The fiat creation of life is certainly a metaphor for God’s guiding hand in the evolutionary development of the species, culminating in the appearance of homo sapien sapien. Kelly points out that, strikingly, both orthodox and liberal scholars agree on one point regarding this view: both affirm that an exegetical reading of the text reveals that the original author intended that his account be read literally; six twenty-four hour days of ex-nihilo creation. Liberal scholars, of course, hold this position to be simply the product of primitive human understanding, and certainly not the definitive Truth of God, but the fact that they agree on the interpretation is significant. It lends much weight to the speculation that the attempts by modern Christianity to reconcile Scripture with a materialistic worldview stem from motives other than biblical warrant. To go even further, it can be said that the proponents of theistic evolution have completely abandoned biblical authority on this point, thereby undermining the very basis for their entire system of theology. While this view might not be especially popular at present, Kelly’s defense of it is very forthright and well-reasoned. While championing the orthodox position, he is careful to deal objectively with alternative models, both within and outside of the Christian community. Kelly structures his exegesis by beginning “in the beginning” and, over each of the successive days, discussing the significance of the various viewpoints involved in each act of creation. In each chapter, the theological discussion is followed by a section of “technical and biographical notes”, in which he examines those relevant points where “the truth claims of Holy Scripture directly impinge upon the actually existing world of space, time and matter.” As noted above, the author does not claim to be a scientist, and freely admits that his forays into this realm fall far short of a rigorous scientific examination. That admission notwithstanding, he has sought the advice and input of many who are professional scientists, and factors their counsel into his discussion of the scientific implications of the Scriptural truths he has examined. The stated intent of these portions of the book is not to provide irrefutable proof, but rather to raise “skeptical and foundational questions about the established naturalist explanation of the origins, age, and significance of the physical cosmos.” This is done with the same structured, logical reasoning that marks the biblically oriented portions of the book; those who hold to a creationist view of the world can take comfort in the scientific validity of the objections raised, even if they don’t provide final answers. Almighty God reigns sovereign over every aspect of His creation. As such, His revelation of Himself in the natural world will always be consistent with His Holy Word. The empirical facts of one need never be contorted or denied to be made to fit the other. In Creation and Change, Douglas Kelly has provided a thought-provoking outline of the main aspects of the creation-evolution debate, and showed how compromise on the part of those who believe in the authority of the Bible is not only unnecessary, but scientifically unwarranted. His work is a testament not only to academic endeavors of humanity, but to the glory of the great God in whose Image we are made.
