Creation stories are universal and have been told through the ages. They express what moved people, what excited them, hurt them, made them feel grateful. Wonder about existence, awareness of dependence upon forces beyond our control, responsibility: these themes are now often articulated in the context of the scientific view of our world, from the Big Bang to the present, "from nothing until now."
Presenting a brief and accessible overview of contemporary scientific thought, "Creation: From Nothing Until Now" is an imaginative and poetic exploration of the origins of the universe. The author assesses the religious and philosophical impact of scientific developments on our understanding of evolution and the natural world, and examines the changing relationship between us and our planet.

Industry Reviews

"this is a wonderful book by one of the leading scholars of the relationship between science and religion. In lucid prose, Drees tackles the "epic of evolution," throwing light on the main events as well as unexpected corridors and byways.He is always serious but never ponderous, and takes the reader from beginning to end on an unforgettable journey, teaching, explaining, and leaving ideas and thoughts buzzing in one's mind. Highly recommended!." -Michael Ruse, Florida State University. "Dressed composed an evolution-creation narrative that serves as the basis for this thin volume. In the book Drees ruminates on the scientific and religious ramifications of this updated creation story." -"Science & Theology News, 01/2005
