The Scripture Doctrine of Creation: With Reference to Religious Nihilism and Modern Theories of Development (Cambridge Library Collection - Science and Religion) - Softcover
Synopsis
Thomas Rawson Birks was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge and a senior professor of philosophy. This book was first published in 1872, the year of his appointment to the prestigious Knightbridge Professorship. As an active Anglican clergyman, Birks engaged energetically in many heated theological controversies. In the Victorian debates on the relationship between religion and science he took a strongly anti-Darwinian stance, declaring that the theory of evolution contradicted the doctrine of creation and could not explain the mystery of life. In other areas, however, he argued that the findings of science confirmed the glory of God, since 'the telescope reveals the grandeur and vastness of the starry worlds' and 'the microscope discovers marks of design and beauty' which are evidence of a supreme designer. His influential evangelical views are expressed in this book, which argues for scripture as the ultimate key to the mystery of existence.

Book Description
A controversial figure in the Victorian church, T. R. Birks, professor of philosophy at Cambridge, was a vocal and influential anti-Darwinian. He argued that though modern science confirmed the glory of God, the theory of evolution could not explain the mystery of creation, to which scripture held the key.

Birks was an Anglican clergyman, a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and served for a time as Edward Bickersteth's curate. A leading evangelical theologian, Birks succeeded F.D. Maurice as the Knightsbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge University in 1872.
