"Redeeming Science"

Vern Poythress, one of my professors from my years at Westminster, has published a new book entitled "Redeeming Science." Poythress has a PhD. in Mathematics from Harvard and a PhD in theolgy from Stellenbosch. This is a very interesting book and the best part is that it can be read in its entirety on the internet for free at this link: http://www.frame-poythress.org/ (The writings of Vern Poythress and John Frame are made available at no charge on this page.)

Stephen Meyer, the Director of the Centre for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute says this about the book:

“Poythress shows how a proper understanding of biblical theology makes possible not just one but many credible harmonizations of biblical and scientific truth. Along the way, he provides an insightful defense of the theory of intelligent design as a viable scientific research program. His examination of the mathematical beauty inherent in the universe gives yet another compelling reason to acknowledge the wisdom and design that lie behind physical reality.”

Chapter 19 of the books deals specifically with the Intelligent Design issue.
