Contemporary scientists, such as Richard Dawkins, have loudly proclaimed that evolutionism is an undeniable fact. They seem oblivious to the historical reality that the naturalistic underlying assumptions of evolutionism mirror the supernatural ones of creationism. 'The faces of origins' demonstrates the historical interdependence of these two opposing religious systems in posing answers to the question of the origin of the universe and human life. "This is not another book presenting evidence in favour of creationism as opposed to evolutionism. Rather, the author is showing the philosophical presupposition that existed behind Western worldviews throughout history, with a focus on the question of origins...this is a much-needed historical perspective on an ongoing debate." -Rev. Andrew MacLeod (B.A., M.Div.)
