This is a very broad topic depending on your believes.The author made it easy to understand relationship between God and evolution without contradicting the two. God and science is a never ending topic. Overall this is a great book I recommend for all believers and nonbelievers.

From the idea of Teilhard, which talks about the universe having various states that can change, and also from St. Thomas Aquinas's ideas when compared, they were able to give a very beautiful revelation of God's involvement in evolution, especially when the author found the missing link, which gave us an idea of where matter and energy from the beginning came from.
- I'm Intrigued to know how the authors linked God with matter and energy. The review was an out of this world one. Thank you.

This book seems a bit complex; however, it's also written in a manner that makes it easier to grasp different concepts. I don't believe in evolution, but I commend the authors for their dedication in seeking truth and their efforts in reaching a conclusion that gives them satisfaction.

Well, I try to avoid conversation that pit God against science. I also don't fancy when a sovereign being like God can be likened to science. However, I'm always open to hear what people have to say about these matters. So, i will read the book.

I am a pragmatist and therefore any reflections on the subject of God's involvement in evolution sound to me like pure speculations. There is no way to prove the facts; no physical evidence, just conviction and theories. Apologies, but I am not interested in them and will have to pass the book. Still, congratulations on BOTD!

I found your review of How is God Involved in Evolution? by Joe P. Provenzano, Ron D. Morgan, and Dan R. Provenzano very insightful. It’s fascinating how the authors bridge the gap between theology and science by exploring ideas from Teilhard and St. Thomas Aquinas. The concept of the FAM as the missing link to understanding the origins of matter and energy is intriguing and adds depth to the ongoing dialogue between faith and science.

I appreciate how you highlighted the authors' ability to present these complex ideas in an understandable manner, without ambiguity or conflict, which is often a challenge in such interdisciplinary works. It’s also impressive that the book is well-edited, which always enhances the reading experience.

Your recommendation for theologians, scientists, and anyone curious about the intersection of evolution and divine involvement is compelling. This book seems like a valuable resource for those seeking to explore these profound questions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping me decide to add this book to my reading list!

The reviewer took their time with this review. They obviously love the theology aspect of God being involved in evolution, and thought that it was definitely as insightful read. I will not lie, I had to re-read the review several time to wrap my brain around it, as this is most definitely not be genre. However, the way that this reviewer wrote this review, I would have to say that they made the book sound very interesting, that I might give it a go. I wouldn't pay for the book, but if I wanted to have intellectual conversation at some point on the topic, I would give this book a try, based of this review alone. I give the review 5 stars!!!

I believe that this topic will never reach a perfect conclusion as technology advances and new findings are made every day. Scientific explanations are more logical, but logic cannot explain everything. This is an excellent recommendation.

Often, we ask questions like, "How is God involved in evolution?" We ponder whether things evolve from nothingness or if there is a higher power orchestrating outcomes. Human existence prompts us all to question how we came to be and why we are the way we are. For me, understanding this fundamentally alters our perspective on life and our journey through it. It shapes how we live and interact with others. This is a controversial topic, and I look forward to exploring it. Thanks for the insightful review. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

I liked your review, Agbata! I sampled the first couple of chapters, and I also felt fascinated by the blend of theology and science, physics in particular. Like you, I liked the narration style and the logical connections of the ideas, free of ambiguity. I agree that this is a brilliant read.

The author, by simplifying complex ideas and describing them in plain English, creates a fascinating exploration that appeals to readers of every faith. With its thorough investigation and compelling story, it is a powerful tool for exploring the intersection between evolution and God.

The review of How is God Involved in Evolution?" by Joe P. Provenzano, Ron D. Morgan, and Dan R. Provenzano, was enlightening. As I am Buddhist, my views on God and evolution differ, however, on my path to further enlightenment and adherence to my faith's precepts, I am always open to hearing about other ideas and viewpoints.
