Synopsis God, Science, and Designer Genes by : Spencer S. Stober
A biologist and a Christian theologian examine the scientific and philosophical implications and potential impacts of genetic technologies. God, Science, and Designer Genes: An Exploration of Emerging Technologies provides a unique approach to the central ethical dilemma in contemporary science, offering both an up-to-date account of the current state of genetic technologies and insightful discussions of the moral/theological questions these technologies raise. Coauthored by professors of biology and theology, God, Science, and Designer Genes examines a range of from-the-headlines issues, including the relationship between science and religion, "designing" our children, stem-cell research, cloning, genetics and behavior, genetics and privacy, and using genetic technologies for social justice. Who should benefit—personally and financially—from DNA technology? Who might be harmed? How do we protect individual rights and guard against discrimination? How will embryo modification affect the identity of those so modified? God, Science, and Designer Genes gives readers an eloquent, thoughtful, and objective foundation for considering these and other questions about the potential conflict between scientific achievement, personal faith, and social responsibility.

Synopsis Adam and the Genome by : Scot McKnight
Genomic science indicates that humans descend not from an individual pair but from a large population. What does this mean for the basic claim of many Christians: that humans descend from Adam and Eve? Leading evangelical geneticist Dennis Venema and popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight combine their expertise to offer informed guidance and answers to questions pertaining to evolution, genomic science, and the historical Adam. Some of the questions they explore include: - Is there credible evidence for evolution? - Do we descend from a population or are we the offspring of Adam and Eve? - Does taking the Bible seriously mean rejecting recent genomic science? - How do Genesis's creation stories reflect their ancient Near Eastern context, and how did Judaism understand the Adam and Eve of Genesis? - Doesn't Paul's use of Adam in the New Testament prove that Adam was a historical individual? The authors address up-to-date genomics data with expert commentary from both genetic and theological perspectives, showing that genome research and Scripture are not irreconcilable. Foreword by Tremper Longman III and afterword by Daniel Harrell.

Synopsis Designer Genes by : Ken Harrington
This book looks at the connection between character and calling. Authority resides in a believer, not in one big bundle, but rather in the smaller compartments of their character. The recent moral failures of certain ministries were not because of their evil nature but rather indicated a lack of mature character in one or more areas. Immaturity is not evil, neither is maturity purity. Our destiny is to think like, look like, and act like Jesus. Where areas in our character have not been converted, immaturity and carnality dominate our thoughts and therefore our actions. This book is de.

Synopsis The God Gene by : Dean H. Hamer
The overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God; this conviction has existed since the beginning of recorded time and is shared by billions around the world. In The God Gene, Dr. Dean Hamer reveals that this inclination towards religious faith is in good measure due to our genes and may even offer an evolutionary advantage by helping us get through difficulties, reducing stress, preventing disease, and extending life. Popular science at its best, The God Gene is an in-depth, fully accessible inquiry into cutting-edge research that can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Written with balance, integrity, and admirable scientific objectivity, this is a book for readers of science and religion alike.

Synopsis Playing God? by : Ted Peters
Since the original publication of Playing God? in 1996, three developments in genetic technology have moved to the center of the public conversation about the ethics of human bioengineering. Cloning, the completion of the human genome project, and, most recently, the controversy over stem cell research have all sparked lively debates among religious thinkers and the makers of public policy. In this updated edition, Ted Peters illuminates the key issues in these debates and continues to make deft connections between our questions about God and our efforts to manage technological innovations with wisdom.

Synopsis The Language of God by : Francis Collins
Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

Synopsis The Genetics of God: Word Became Flesh: A Scientist Explains How God Became Man by : Sam Rose
Have you ever been confronted with the questions, Can God become a man? Is not incarnation a violation of the natural law? The Christian says incarnation is the pulsating beat of the heart of Christianity and that God became a man, yet the formidable question is, how? Has theology or science found a solution? The historical Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most influential person ever to walk on the face of the planet Earth. For the past 2000 years, thousands of books have been written about Him, and yet, no book has been written about the mechanism by which the eternally existing God - the Christ - became Jesus, the Man in the Flesh. This book precisely explains this mystery by looking through the prism of the scientific discipline of genetics. In this book, you will: ● Discover how science (genetics) has already shown what the Scriptures have promised. ● Gain scientific understanding about how God became a man. ● Understand the scientific basis for the phrase, "Word Became Flesh." ● Acquire scientific knowledge that will revitalize your spiritual life and empower you to defend your faith. Sam Rose is a former senior post-doctoral research scientist at Columbia University, New York and a research fellow at Rutgers University, New Jersey (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey). He spent more than fifteen years studying the intricacies of the immune system. His genetic research has focused on the role of HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) genes in human autoimmune diseases and HIV/AIDS. In 2000 he was struck by an insidious illness and confronted by the last visitor, but God preserved him for a unique purpose. Since then, he has been examining the relevance of science (genetics) and theology with particular emphasis on Christianity. After 18 years of clinical trials, he lives to tell one of the greatest mysteries God has revealed to mankind. He holds a Ph.D. in Immunogenetics from AIIMS (All India Inst of Med Sciences, New Delhi India). He is the Founder and President of Incarnate Word International. He lives with his wife Shelonitda Rose and children.

Synopsis Evolution and Eschatology by : Graeme Finlay
The genome revolution of the last twenty years has changed biology forever. It has provided stunning insights into the evolution of species (such as ours) and the development of new functional capabilities (such as placenta, brain, and immune networks). We are learning how genes make a human animal―but that loving relationships with others are required to make a human person. Random mutations, filtered by directing order, underlie evolutionary development, but also cause diseases such as cancer. We are wont to question God when faced with devastating natural and moral evils. But deeply embedded in the biblical story we encounter a Creator who has always purposed to deal with the evils of a freely operating world by extirpating them through Jesus of Nazareth, who is God incarnate.

Synopsis Seeking God in Science by : Bradley Monton
The doctrine of intelligent design is often the subject of acrimonious debate. Seeking God in Science cuts through the rhetoric that distorts the debates between religious and secular camps. Bradley Monton, a philosopher of science and an atheist, carefully considers the arguments for intelligent design and argues that intelligent design deserves serious consideration as a scientific theory. Monton also gives a lucid account of the debate surrounding the inclusion of intelligent design in public schools and presents reason why students’ science education could benefit from a careful consideration of the arguments for and against it.
