“In Darwin’s day, a living cell was thought to be quite simply—for all practical purposes—little more than a microscopic blob of gelatin. Rana lays out what contemporary science has learned about the cell’s design, and he poignantly and provocatively shows that it is the handiwork of not only an Intelligent Designer but specifically the God revealed in Scripture.”
- Hank Hanegraaff, president, Christian Research Institute; host, Bible Answer Man broadcast
“Fazale Rana’s welcome sequel to Origins of Life makes a significant contribution to the growing scientific literature pointing to intelligent design.”
- Kenneth Boa, president, Reflections Ministries

Naturalism Defeated?: Essays on Plantinga’s Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism
January 15, 2007 by testertwo
Filed under Uncategorized
Over at Evangelical Outpost, Joe Carter has written a post on Science vs. Naturalism: Why Naturalism is a Self-Refuting Philosophy. (HT: Wayne Shih)
I strongly recommend the book Naturalism Defeated?: Essays on Plantinga’s Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism
Contributors to this book include William Ramsey, Jerry Fodor, Evan Fales, Michael Bergmann, Ernest Sosa, James Van Cleve, Timothy O’Connor, Richard Otte, W.J. Talbott, Trenton Merricks, William Alston, and Alvin Plantinga.
This book isn’t exactly a page-turner, but it is a very important work for those who are considering the intellectual foundations of evolutionary science.
