Origins: A Reformed Look at Creation, Design, and Evolution
Deborah and Loren Haarsma, Calvin College
Christian Perspectives on Science Seminar series at Calvin College

FaithAlive Resources, the publishing ministry of the Christian Reformed Church, asked us to write a book “for the person in the pew” on issues of origins. In this short seminar, we’ll give an overview of the contents of the book and our writing approach, as well as answer audience questions. The book begins with chapters on God’s governance of natural processes, doing science as part of a Christian worldview, and interpretation of scripture. Other chapters review the scientific, theological, and worldview issues around the age of the Earth, the Big Bang, biological evolution, and intelligent design. The book ends with two chapters on several scientific and theological issues around human origins.
