{"product_id":"the-challenge-of-evolution-to-johan-de-smedt-9781108716048","title":"The Challenge of Evolution to Religion","description":"This Element focuses on three challenges of evolution to religion: teleology, human origins, and the evolution of religion itself. First, religious worldviews tend to presuppose a teleological understanding of the origins of living things, but scientists mostly understand evolution as non-teleological. Second, religious and scientific accounts of human origins do not align in a straightforward sense. Third, evolutionary explanations of religion, including religious beliefs and practices, may cast doubt on their justification. We show how these tensions arise and offer potential responses for religion. Individual religions can meet these challenges, if some of their metaphysical assumptions are adapted or abandoned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johan de Smedt,Helen de Cruz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108716040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108716048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Johan de Smedt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443991851263,"sku":"9781108716048","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9938684d-f704-45d9-8d7d-d68450f86815.jpg?v=1777209263","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-challenge-of-evolution-to-johan-de-smedt-9781108716048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
