9002 - The Case for Divine Design—
by Frank B. Salisbury.

     -Was creation an act of God, or did it occur by natural processes?
     -Can science logically disprove the existance of God?
     -Does the apparent design of living things point to the work of a Creator?
     Author Frank B. Salisbury, retired professor of biology and plant physiology and former head of the Plant Science Department at Utah State University, answers these questions in this important book, which brings understanding and respect to the ongoing debate regarding the origin of life.
     In The Case for Divine Design, the author argues that we must find God on our own and not be enticed by scientific evidence to believe or disbelieve. His own belief in God, coupled with decades of study and research that he shares in this book, has led him to appreciate the beauty of an Intelligent Creation. $15.99

 

 

 

 

1024 - From Man to God—
An LDS Scientist Views Creation, Progression, and Exaltation
,
by William E. Harris.

     This intriguing book offers a new perspective on man's involvement in the creation of the earth, the evolution of life, and eternal progression. The nature of man's progression from mortality to godhood is explored from a Latter-day Saint perspective. The author's profound understanding of the scriptures and his grasp of the available scientific evidence provides a host of concepts and insights.
     Each chapter looks at a different aspect of the inter-relationship between science and religion. The author discusses the typical viewpoints of creationists and the evolutionists, demonstrating that both are extreme positions.
     He emphasizes that faith is an integral part of all learning, in preparation for a discussion of various elements of eternal progression. He investigates the possible effects of relativity on resurrected beings and discusses additional evidence of the existence of God. He explains how the atonement of Jesus Christ satisfies the demands of justice and shows that Christ is the only redeemer. He investigates light, intelligence, and the glory of God, presenting evidence that God is aware of his creations throughout the universe.
     This carefully documented book is for all LDS readers who wish to gain greater insights into man's creation, progression and exaltation, regardless of their background in the sciences.  $13.98

 

 

 

 

1066 - Scientific Support for Scriptural Stories,
by R. Clayton Brough & Rodney D. Griffin.

     Religious and scientific arguments about what constitutes truth have persisted for hundreds of years. These arguments and their extreme positions have often caused more confusion and conflict than understanding and agreement. Fortunately, many Latter-day Saint scientists believe that both revelation and science are sources of truth, and that any apparent discrepancies between the two will eventually be worked out when all is known or revealed. This book is an attempt to establish this philosophical position—that practicing religious scientists can make statements that reconcile apparent conflicts between science and religion.
     Today, scientists and theologians still debate such issues as the age of the earth, the creation and development of life, and the relationship between prehistoric and modern life forms. These and other issues sometimes make it seem like there is no possible reconciliation between science and religion. However, the compilation of statements in this book will help the reader come to a better understanding of the common ground that exists between science and religion on these and other topics.  $18.98
