from Dr. James Boice

Creation or Evolution?

What should a Christian think about evolution—or say, or do? Dr. Boice has given us a thorough study of the question in this DVD series. After viewing and discussing this series you’ll be much better equipped. You’ll understand more clearly five major views on the question: secular (atheistic) evolution, theistic evolution, the gap theory, six day creationism, and progressive creationism.

You’ll discover that you accepted one of these views all along. You may change your mind somewhat—or just know better why you believe what you do. In any case, you’ll be able to talk with anyone about the subject calmly, biblically, and with a view to sharing your faith in Jesus, the one through whom and for whom all things were made.
