| Summary |
"The Church, the Schools and Evolution" by J. E. Conant is a religious and philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the conflict between the Church and educational institutions regarding the theory of evolution, arguing that this clash stems from unproven theories rather than established scientific facts. Conant seeks to position the Church's theological convictions against what he perceives as the challenges posed by the evolution narrative, advocating for a harmony between faith and the truth found in the Bible. At the start of the book, Conant introduces the fundamental disagreement between the Church and the Schools, which he attributes to the acceptance of evolutionary theory by educational institutions at the expense of biblical truth. He asserts that this conflict arises not from a genuine opposition between science and faith, but rather from misunderstandings and a misapplication of scientific principles. Conant sets out his intent to offer a solution to what he describes as a distressing controversy, emphasizing that the Church's fight is not against scientific facts but against speculative philosophies that threaten to undermine foundational Christian doctrines.
