Interview with Author Lenn E. Goodman, July 2010
Dr. Lenn E. Goodman was interviewed last month by Divinity Library faculty at Vanderbilt University about his new book, Creation and Evolution. Listen to the interview.
Solidly researched and replete with scientific case studies, vignettes from intellectual history, and thoughtful argument, Creation and Evolution exposes the strengths and weaknesses of the polarized battle camps of today’s evolution controversies.
Nicholas Rescher (University of Pittsburgh, USA) notes:
“Many of us feel that the time is long past due for declaring a truce in the war between evolution and theism. But making a cogent and sensible case for this conviction is not as easy as it sounds, so we cannot but welcome the decency and elegance which Goodman’s wise and widely informed deliberations come to our aid.”
