How can we reconcile assumptions about the lawfulness of the universe with provision for chance events? Do the 'laws of nature' indicate what absolutely must happen, or just what is most likely to happen? These important questions for both science and theology, and are explored here in the first in-depth coverage of important but neglected topic.Including perspectives from prestigious contributors, and published with the backing of the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR), "Creation: Law and Probability" employs the disciplines of history and philosophy, as well as cosmology, evolutionary biology and neuroscience; in a fascinating dialogue of different faith traditions.
