Evolution, Chance, and God is a timely and relevant contribution to the current discussions on science and religion. Clear and engaging, it provides a lucid account of evolutionary theory and isolates the major questions that are raised (or ought to be raised) in considering its relationship to religion. Sweetman's volume also makes important clarifications and conceptual distinctions crucial to the debate.

Foregoing the tired clichés of the debates between evolution and religion, Sweetman offers the reader a precise and honest account of what is at stake. In asserting the non-random foundation for evolutionary processes, he poses new philosophical challenges to naturalism and atheism by closely examining what we mean by chance, randomness and, above all, causality. Determinism and design are not dirty words when thinking about evolution and religion; Sweetman discloses why this is true.
