• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In the well-known Scopes GCGBPMonkey TrialGC of 1925, famously portrayed in the film and play Inherit the Wind, William Jennings BryanGCOs fundamentalist fervor clashed with defense attorney Clarence DarrowGCOs aggressive agnosticism, illustrating what current scholars call the conflict thesis. It appeared, regardless of the actual legal question of the trial, that Christianity and science were at war with each other. Decades later, a new generation of evangelical scientists struggled to restore peace. After the Monkey Trial is the compelling history of those evangelical scientists in Britain and America who, unlike their fundamentalist cousins, supported mainstream scientific conclusions of the world and resisted the anti-science impulses of the era. This book focuses on two organizations, the American Scientific Affiliation and the Research ScientistsGCO ChristianFellowship (today Christians in Science), who for more than six decades have worked to reshape the evangelical engagement with science and redefine what it means to be a creationist.
