books that deal fairly with the creation - evolution issue

Jesse Blevins

Please don't turn this thread into a debate. I am just asking for some recommendations and some explanation why you found the book to be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Personally stay away from hugh ross (old earth creation)......I have heard of Institute of Creation Research or Answers in Genesis.    couple things in logos.....do a search  in logos and will get some websites.

I'm not sure there are many available in Logos (or elsewhere for that matter) that present the range of views fairly. 

There is a Zondervan Counterpoints book - Three Views on Creation and Evolution but it doesn't appear to be available in the Logos Counterpoints collection.  This would probably be the best way of getting a concise summary of the arguments for the three main viewpoints, and will give you a bobliography to widen your research. 

Robert Gurney's Six Day Creation: Does it Matter What you Believe? might also be a helpful resource although I have not read it - it is very cheap so you wouldn't have lost much if it turned out to be a lemon.

If you want to understand more about theistic evolution, Science and Creation: The Search for Understanding by John Polkinghorne is helpful (although I have only read part of it).  It isn't available in Logos.  It was a view I had dismissed out of hand prior to reading this, and Polkinghorne is probably the best writer advocating this viewpoint as he does it both theologicaly and scientifically.

I also noticed that MJ Smith has set up a Reading List on Creation in Logos.  If you go to Tools > Reading Lists and search for "creation" it comes up in the results.  That might also point you to some resources in your Logos library.
