"We expect this book to have wide use in the college classroom and for the educated layperson," Rasi said. "It has good solid, scientific content, but is also accessible to the casual reader." Rasi, himself a long-time educator, also served as vice president for editorial development at Pacific Press Publishing Association, has written many articles and co-edited with Gibson other books on religion and science, including "Understanding Creation: Answers to Questions on Faith and Science."
