"Creation or Evolution? A Philosophical Inquiry" by George Ticknor Curtis explores the late 19th-century clash between evolutionary science, spearheaded by thinkers like Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, and the traditional belief in a divine Creator. Curtis' writing analyzes the impact of these opposing ideas on our comprehension of life's meaning and humanity's role in the cosmos. The book kicks off by highlighting the age-old questions about existence and divinity, noting humanity's innate drive to grasp its place in the grand scheme of things. Curtis shares how he became curious about evolution and the need to rationally examine the arguments around creation versus evolution. He stresses the need to rationally evaluate these theories, preparing the reader for debates comparing evolution with special creation and exploring the consequences for faith and moral responsibility.
