Nobody knows - 23 June 2009 |
|
The first 4 chapters of John C. Lennox’s God’s Undertaker cover some fairly well-trodden methodological and philosophical ground, though with glittering clarity and fresh insights on almost every page.
Chapters 5 to 7 focus more specifically on evolutionary biology – conceding ground where appropriate while simultaneously asking some probing questions – on the fossil record, irreducible complexity, and especially the origin of life (as opposed to its subsequent development). Here’s Stuart Kaufmann, for example:
Anyone who tells you that he or she knows how life started on the earth 3.45 billion years ago is a fool or a knave. Nobody knows. (p. 126)
