I Love Jesus & I Accept Evolution
by Denis O Lamoureux"In this thought-provoking book, born-again Christian Denis O. Lamoureux argues that the God of the Bible created the universe and life through evolution--an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting natural process. In other words, evolution is not the result of blind chance and our creation is not a mistake. Lamoureux challenges the popular assumption that God disclosed scientific facts in the opening chapters of Scripture thousands of years before their discovery by modern science." - Wipf and Stock Publishers
Questions of Truth
by John Polkinghorne and Nicholas Beale
"For many years, people from across the world have sent the
scientist-turned-priest John Polkinghorne questions about science and
belief. In question-and-answer format, Polkinghorne and his
collaborator Nicholas Beale offer their informed opinions about some of
the most asked questions. Readers can follow their own paths through
the book, selecting questions that interest them and looking at the
additional material if they choose. The unique book will help
Christians clarify their beliefs and better face challenges to their
faith." - Amazon
"An illuminating study of the relationship between science and
religion...This book features the contributions of a team of 25
scholars that includes agnostics, atheists, and Christians. Their
collective objective is to dispel the "hoary myths" of the supposedly
bellicose relationship between religion and science. Readers will be
fascinated by the evidence that for advocating Copernicanism, Galileo
was not imprisoned (as commonly thought) but interrogated--albeit under
the threat of torture--and set up in an apartment." - C. Brian Smith, Library Journal

Mere Christian,
You get smacked around on here because you continue to make a false accusation, and won't correct yourself even when shown that we don't believe that. YOU are the one elevating a certain belief about Genesis as a doctrine of salvation, none of us has. Your lack of reading comprehension is baffling.
Maybe you should read a book before you say it is heretical(or if you won't read a book, at least have a basic understand of what theistic evolution is). Just a suggestion.
Mere Christian,
Anytime you say something like "basically you're saying that (and then add some really silly sounding belief)" it is really obvious that you are not seeking understanding. I don't understand why you would want to ridicule a belief that biologos doesn't hold. What's the purpose? If you actually knew what biologos held, and you still disagreed with it, you could make a much more powerful criticism. Put in the time to research and understand, and I promise you won't have to get near as sarcastic and ugly with us, and you might actually make some points. And you could do so in a Christlike way. "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Rom. 12:18)
My very favorite sci/religion book is Finding Darwin's God by Ken Miller. Miller has a great sense of humor and a talent for explaining things clearly. He's also a wonderful speaker.
Thanks for the book recommendations! I'm always interested in learning more spirituality and science. Right now I'm reading "Decoding The Spiritual Messages of Everyday Life" (author Dr. Paul DeBell). He's a psychiatrist who combines spirituality and psychology to help us overcome challenges and become more perceptive, creative, and fulfilled. Here's a link if you're interested. http://decodeyourmessages.com/
"Readers will be fascinated by the evidence that for advocating Copernicanism, Galileo was not imprisoned (as commonly thought) but interrogated--albeit under the threat of torture"
Oh, so that's all right then. No religious bellicosity towards science there, clearly!
