We Have Questions about Evolution But Is It Safe to Ask? As children, we fearlessly enter the world with curiosity and a sense of exploration. As we get older, the stakes get higher. We find that new ideas can be disturbing when they don't fit our view of life or they challenge our current understanding. The potential for disturbance is why many people are afraid to ask questions or to allow others to ask. In Thinking about Evolution , molecular biologist Anjeanette "AJ" Roberts, biochemist Fazale Rana, paleoanthropologist Sue Dykes, and analytical philosopher Mark Perez guide us to a place where, once again, we can fearlessly embrace curiosity. We're invited to ask questions such as, "Is evolution really a problem for the Christian faith?" and "What if evolution is true?" Then, we can wrestle with the answers together, building the confidence that allows us to be more comfortable with others' questions as well as our own. [A] must-read book for Christians who have the courage to challenge preconceived ideas about evolution and consider how science, philosophy, and theology intersect. Thinking about Evolution is powerful, well-researched, and truly inspiring for people of faith who want to pursue deeper understanding of our world and the God of the Bible. --Alia Eyres CEO, Mother's Choice, Hong Kong Biochemist Fazale "Fuz" Rana is president, CEO, and senior scholar of Reasons to Believe (RTB). He is dedicated to communicating to skeptics and believers alike the powerful scientific case for God's existence and the Bible's reliability.    Fuz converted to Christianity during graduate school. Though he initially embraced the evolutionary paradigm, Fuz eventually drew the conclusion that only a Creator's involvement could explain the elegance of biochemical systems. After a pastor challenged him to read the Bible, Fuz became convinced of the validity of Christ's claims and of his own need for a Savior. The death of his Muslim father some years later helped Fuz appreciate the importance of evangelism and Christian apologetics, which led to his joining the RTB team in 1999.    Today, Fuz writes and speaks extensively about evidence for creation that emerges from biochemistry, genetics, human origins, and synthetic biology. He is the author of several books―including Humans 2.0, The Cell's Design, and Fit for a Purpose―as well as countless articles. He hosts the popular video podcast Stars, Cells, and God and has addressed audiences at over 500 universities, churches, and conferences around the world. Fuz has also made numerous media appearances on television, radio, and in print.    Fuz graduated with highest honors from West Virginia State College (now University) with a BS in chemistry and earned a PhD in chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry from Ohio University, where he was twice awarded the Donald Clippinger Research Award. He pursued postdoctoral studies at the Universities of Virginia and Georgia and later became a senior scientist in research and development at Procter & Gamble.    Fuz lives in Southern California with his wife, Amy. They have five adult children.
