Re: New Book on Science as a Christian Vocation

May I ask what Angus' book did with the paleaoetiological sciences like
geology. I am sure Concordia would not be happy with the vocation of a
Christian geologist , who by definition has to be old earth!

I would like to have considered the vocation of Adam Sedgwick as a Christian
geologist and even better compare Sedgwick with Hitchcock, a Christian of
equal stature.
