Is it possible that one of the biggest obstacles to harmonizing science and faith can finally be overcome? Respected biologist and former atheist Sy Garte says the answer is yes.

A flash point for much of the science vs. faith divide has been Darwinian evolution. Sharing the same mistaken belief that science contradicts the Bible, many scientists and Christians have concluded that the worlds of science and religion are at odds. But according to biologist Sy Garte, PhD, evolution is irrelevant to the harmony of faith and science. And revolutionary new developments in biology are providing stronger evidence than ever before of a purposeful creator God. In this book, Dr. Garte combines the latest research with a biblical worldview as he explains:

• why biology is at the threshold of a major transition, and why new theories beyond evolution are needed to make further progress
• why evolution by natural selection isn't as fundamental to biological science as many people think-and how divisions over evolution are bad for the church
• why misunderstandings about both the Bible and science have caused many people to unnecessarily abandon Christianity
• how new evidence of purpose, agency, and decision-making at the cellular level points to a creator God
• how the origin of life and human consciousness show that a reductionist, purely materialistic view of life is untenable and ignores new advances in science

In Beyond Evolution, Sy Garte challenges both scientists and people of faith to follow the evidence wherever it leads-and argues powerfully for why that evidence warrants a belief in God.
