This book is the study of the lives of four scientists of four different generations who struggled with the evolution-creation debate. Yet, at the same time, it somehow seems to be the author's own pilgrimage. Because of his own experience, the author writes with sensitivity and with understanding, and it is helpful reading for those with differing views of origins. The author describes a path many of us have taken and so we can read it with empathy.
Philip Gosse
Philip Gosse was a powerful voice in his generation who met intense opposition for his stand on the biblical account of special creation. Much of the material in the public domain comes from his atheistic son, Edmund, and so should be viewed critically. John Rendle-Short goes back to Gosse's own work to aid his evaluation.
