Inhaltsangabe

The Baha'i Faith formed in the late 19th century and has a nuanced take on the tension over human origins and religion: humans evolved over a long time from a primitive form, but not as a haphazard branch of the ape family.

Donaldson explores this intriguing issue with a thorough review of the Baha'i scriptures, efforts by Baha'i authors to reconcile the tension with common ancestry, and a deep dive into what unfolding science has to say about the subject.

Highly educational, logically developed, and a page-turner, this book addresses the foundational question: Where did we come from? The Baha'i Faith's unique approach provides a true bridge between science and religion, providing a naturalistic view of evolution that also promotes human distinction, virtue, and purpose.

"An excellent, carefully researched, and ground-breaking work, unique for attempting to provide a scientific basis for `Abdu'l-Baha's statements on human origin." -Keven Brown, editor of Evolution and Baha'i Belief
