{"product_id":"gods-biologist-316035","title":"God's Biologist","description":"This timely biography uncovers the link between Hardy's worldly success as an empirical scientist and his lifelong preoccupation with religion. As a pupil of?Julian Huxley, grandson of Darwin's greatest supporter, T.H. Huxley, he was a thoroughly orthodox adherent of the Darwinian account of evolution. At the?same time his own religious experience led him to propose a ground-breaking resolution of the troubled relationship between the theory of evolution and?religion.* ?? Sir Alister Hardy FRS was Professor of Zoology at Oxford University from 1946 to 1961. His exploits in marine biology made him world famous and gained him his knighthood.?* In contrast, in 1962 he was also invited to give the prestigious Gifford Lectures on natural theology in Aberdeen University. He chose as his theme religious experience as a biologically based reality that has evolved through the process of natural selection. In 1969 he founded the Religious Experience Research Unit (RERU) in Oxford.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561158607135,"sku":"9780232528473","price":66.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780232528473_475557.jpg?v=1769128259","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/gods-biologist-316035","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
