Abstract
This book is one of the best resources that is currently available defending the middle ground position between creation-science and evolutionism. Indeed, as chapter 5 of the book explains, the position of the authors (and probably of most ASA members) should not be considered a middle ground composed of a compromising mixture of creation and evolution, so much as a recognition that science and religion have distinct "domains of inquiry for which each is appropriate. Science and religion offer different (but not contradictory) perspectives, or portraits, of creation. Chapters include: the historical development of the tension between science and theology; an overview of geology, and of astronomy; how scientists do their work; a critique of creation science; and an examination of scripture.
