Continuous Creation
Author: Wilfred Branfield
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135028974
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Originally published in 1950, this book challenged the basis of our beliefs about the relation of life to matter. Already aware that chalk, limestone and coal seams are the residues of ancient life, the author suggests that this knowledge may also be applied to the rest of matter. In that case, he argues, the origin of the world was not cosmic upheaval which broke down at last into life, but organic life itself.

Genesis of the Cosmos
Author: Paul A. LaViolette
Publisher: Inner Traditions / Bear & Co
ISBN: 9781591430346
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
Paul LaViolette reveals astonishing parallels between cutting edge scientific thought and early creation myths, and how these myths encode a theory of cosmology in which matter is continually growing from seeds of order that emerge spontaneously from chaos. Exposing the contradictions of the Big Bang theory, LaViolette leads us beyond the restrictive metaphors of modern science and into a new science for the 21st century.

A Treatise on Jonathan Edwards, Continuous Creation and Christology
Author: S. Hamilton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692975657
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is one of the most important thinkers of the Christian Tradition. Ironically, little is known about his Christology. Lesser still is that which which is known about the philosophical commitments that undergird much of thinking about the God-man. In A Treatise on Jonathan Edwards, Continuous Creation and Christology, S. Mark Hamilton shows that Edwards has much more to say about the nature of the person of Christ that is both significant and original than has been believed to this point. Hamilton's Treatise tackles Edwards' unique understanding of the God-world relationship and how that understanding bears upon his doctrine of the person of Christ. Equal-parts philosophical clarification and theological construction, and offering a number of truly original insights, Hamilton makes the convincing case that Edwards' commitment to the idea that God somehow creates the universe out of nothing every moment does not, as some have hitherto supposed, imperil his commitment to an orthodox Christology. In so doing, Hamilton puts forward a reconstruction of a controversial aspect of Edwards' Christology that will undoubtedly provoke both a deeper appreciation and closer examination of Edwards' philosophical theology.

Creation and Anarchy
Author: Giorgio Agamben
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503609278
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The acclaimed Italian philosopher interrogates the concept of creation in art, religion, and economics in this collection of five essays. Creation and the giving of orders are closely entwined in Western culture, where God commands the world into existence and later issues the injunctions known as the Ten Commandments. The arche, or origin, is always also a command, and a beginning is always the first principle that governs and decrees. This is as true for theology, where God not only creates the world but governs and continues to govern through continuous creation, as it is for the philosophical and political tradition according to which beginning and creation, command and will, together form a strategic apparatus without which our society would fall apart. The five essays collected here aim to deactivate this apparatus through a patient archaeological inquiry into the concepts of work, creation, and command. Giorgio Agamben explores every nuance of the arche in search of an an-archic exit strategy. By the book’s final chapter, anarchy appears as the secret center of power, brought to light so as to make possible a philosophical thought that might overthrow both the principle and its command.

Lucretius on Creation and Evolution
Author: Gordon Lindsay Campbell
Publisher: Oxford Classical Monographs
ISBN: 9780199263967
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Lucretius' account of the origin of life, the origin of species, and human prehistory is the longest and most detailed account extant from the ancient world. It gives an anti-teleological mechanistic theory of zoogony and the origin of species that does away with the need for any divine aidor design in the process, and accordingly it has been seen as a forerunner of Darwin's theory of evolution. This commentary locates Lucretius in both the ancient and modern contexts, and treats Lucretius' ideas as very much alive rather than as historical concepts. The recent revival of creationismmakes this study particularly relevant to contemporary debate, and indeed, many of the central questions posed by creationists are those Lucretius attempts to answer.
