To Consider

• What do we make of the ‘debate’ between science and religion?

• Where should we place the emphasis?

The Bible- 'Word of God' or 'Word of Warning'?

To Consider

• What does the Bible look like through post-Darwinian eyes?

• How does the life conducted by ‘divine Man’ (Christ) compare with the life conducted by ‘biological Man’?

Are we 'Fallen Angels' or 'Risen Apes'?(and is there any substantive difference?)

• What is salvation? What/Who gets ‘saved’?

To Consider

• Of the questions raised throughout this essay – take your pick.
