end.

M. R. Carlson. "Evolution,
the limbus and hereditary evil" Reviews both scientific and
doctrinal aspects of evolution, noting the problems with the natural selection
idea (as well as the spiritual dangers of purely external "nature created
itself" theory), and proposes a new doctrinal/scientific approach to the whole
issue, including a new view of hereditary evil, with a tie-in to Sheldrake’s
"morphogenetic fields" concept.
