Who am I? Where did I come from? Where did life come from? How you answer these questions will profoundly impact how you live your life. Professor Collier has compiled into one engaging volume the scientific case for God and theism encased in the philosophy of one of the most brilliant and unusual scientist/philosophers of our age: Michael Polanyi. Few people have the time to survey the full spectrum of the modern intelligent design movement and how it grew out of and interacts with the writings of Michael Polanyi. With this book you can step back and survey the whole scene, and know exactly who you need to read next if necessary. Collier has condensed the critical details of Polanyi and the Intelligent Design movement into a single volume that informs without being overly simplistic, but is also engaging and fun. "Dr. Collier's book From Darwin to Eden was a delight to read! . . . Bill has always been a deep thinker. He has managed to merge his expertise in chemistry with the area of philosophy in this brilliant and inspiring book. I feel smarter and more informed just reading his book. Get a copy and enjoy every word of this riveting text!" --Jim Thompsen, Senior Principal Scientist "I've enjoyed watching Dr. Collier for years empower his students to arrive at thoughtful, well-reasoned positions about the origin and design of our universe. In From Darwin to Eden Dr. Collier gives the reader access to his years of experience, his wide-ranging command of the subject, and the winsome tenor through which he has guided hundreds of bright minds to the confident embrace, with integrity, of both rigorous scientific inquiry and Christian theology." --Gyle Smith, Lead Pastor, Believers Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma William B. Collier is a Fulbright Scholar, former research scientist at the National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research, AWU-DOE fellow, TUBITAK fellow, and is currently professor of chemistry at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He teaches chemistry and the interaction of science and faith, in addition to his spectroscopic research and studies on the origin of life.
