Klappentext
Biografische Anmerkung

In Blind Evolution?: The Nature of Humanity and the Origin of Life, Professor David Frost challenges the dominant worldview derived from Darwin¿s evolutionary theories and perpetuated in Richard Dawkins¿s atheistic propaganda for Neo-Darwinism: that our universe has ¿at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference¿.
Frost deploys recent findings from a range of scientific studies that shake Neo-Darwinism to its foundation. Citing entertaining examples, from the inner workings of a single cell to the animal kingdom at large, from elephants and giraffes to the Japanese pufferfish, Frost maintains that Darwinian premises are wholly inadequate to engage with life or to provide a framework for our experiences of joy and sorrow, the problem of suffering, and the stark realities of good and evil.
Reflecting on the nature of existence, Frost points to a mode of human understanding parallel to scientific enquiry through the path of ¿vision¿ accessed via the nous (or spiritual intellect). He argues that ¿vision¿ is as much essential to our understanding of creation as is scientific enquiry ¿ reality is best approached through a complementary partnership of both.



Professor David Frost has lectured and broadcast on literature and theology in two hemispheres and in seven countries. He was a lecturer at the University of Cambridge for ten years before taking up a Chair of English Literature in the University of Newcastle, NSW, where he remained for twenty-one years. He later returned to Cambridge and was for eleven years Honorary Principal and Administrator of the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies. As Director of THE WAY, he organised what became an internationally used course for instruction in Orthodox Christianity, modelled on the famed Alpha Course.
