David K. Shortess 
A Reasonable Accommodation 
Bridging the Gap Between Science and Faith

Have you ever wondered…

Why do people have to suffer?
Did the Garden of Eden really exist?
Is there evidence of design in the universe?
Why is there so much sin and evil in the world?
Was there really a worldwide flood in Noahs day?
Do non-physical, supernatural entities actually exist?
Were Adam and Eve a unique, divinely created couple?
Who was Cains wife, and who did he fear would kill him?
What is the age of the earth, thousands or billions of years?
Was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil really a tree?
Can evolution account for the diversity of life on earth today?

Об авторе

The author is an evangelical, born-again Christian and a retired professional scientist. He addresses these and other related questions, as he brings to bear both scriptural support and recent scientific evidence, in an effort to arrive at a reasonable accommodation for what are often highly contentious and emotion-filled arguments concerning these issues. As he states, “… what we find in God’s Word certainly should mesh with all the things that scientists have discovered and are continuing to discover about God’s creation.”
