The idea about evolution is something that some scientists who believed in it, found it to be a myth after performing several experiments. I don't think I would want to find out how God is involved in evolution because personally, from different studies, I have come to know that evolution is just a theory that's meant to discredit facts about Creation. I'm sorry, I'll skip this book. Congratulations on being the BOTD though....

I find this book's title quite interesting, especially since it draws attention to God as an active participant in evolution, a controversial subject that people often shy away from discussing. Thank you for your brilliant review.

How is God Involved in Evolution?" by Joe P. Provenzano, Ron D. Morgan, and Dan R. Provenzano is a book that explores the question of how God is involved in Evolution. And I am sure, from the review, that the insights were pretty sound and brilliant.
However, honestly, I wouldn't be caught dead reading this book. Everyone is entitled to their belief system. And any book that probes God's origin and involvement in creation and state of being is not for me.

In his work, he addresses how evolution can be interpreted from a theistic perspective and how science and religion can coexist harmoniously.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because I am not a religious person and have little to none interest in discovering what sparked Creation. It sounds like a mute question to me, since there will never be an answer and everyone will believe what they wish. Congratulations with BOTD, anyway!

It's not something that I would read. I don't need proof of any kind that God is involved in evolution as I know He is. This sounds a bit complex for me as I'm not someone who enjoys science or philosophy. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! I’ve read How is God Involved in Evolution? as well, and I completely agree with your assessment. The way the authors blend scientific concepts with theological perspectives is truly impressive. I also appreciated how they addressed complex ideas without any ambiguity, making it accessible to a wide audience. The narrative was engaging, and I found the exploration of Teilhard and St. Thomas Aquinas’s ideas particularly enlightening. Your review captured the essence of the book perfectly, and I’m glad to see it resonated with you as much as it did with me.
