Synopsis:

If you accept the biblical account of origins, do you have to reject science? Ariel Roth argues that taken together, science and religion give us a more complete and sensible understanding of the world around us.

About the Author: Ariel A. Roth was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and grew up in Europe, the Caribbean, and North America. Holding a master's degree in biology and a Ph.D. degree in zoology from the University of Michigan, he has taken additional training in geology, mathematics, and radiation biology at various campuses of the University of California.

Roth has held a number of college and university appointments and is a member of several learned societies. After serving as chairman of the Biology Department at Andrews University and Loma Linda University, he was director of the Geoscience Research Institute at Loma Linda, California.

Roth has pursued research in invertebrate zoology and on fossil and living coral reefs in both the Pacific and Caribbean. There he has investigated the effects of light and pigment on the rate of coral reef growth. His research in various aspects of biology has been financed by several United States government agencies, including the National Institutes of Health and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Roth has been active in the evolution-creation controversy in the United States, serving as a consultant or witness to the states of California, Oregon, and Arkansas.
