Can We Believe in Creation and 
Evolution?
Questions Science Asks of Scripture and 
Scripture Asks of Science
James K. Hoffmeier & Janet L. Siefert
An honest and accessible treatment of one of the 
most common objections to Christianity
M
any Christians remain skeptical about whether science’s 
current old-earth, evolutionary consensus properly 
respects the Bible. And many scientists’ concerns about Scrip-
ture hinder their faith. Can We Believe in Creation and Evolu-
tion? invites readers to “listen in” as two experts tackle these 
problems.
Pairing Old Testament scholar and archaeologist James K. 
Hoffmeier with biologist and genomic researcher Janet  L. 
Siefert, this book addresses questions like
	y
What is the proper role of science in explaining origins?
	y
How are scientific experiments about origins 
conducted?
	y
Which Scriptures deal with the origins of both the 
universe and of humans?
	y
How can we affirm God as creator and evolution as a 
mechanism of creation?
In this book, both authors pose questions, posit answers, 
and provide reflections. Ultimately, they agree that when 
science and Scripture are interpreted properly and each disci-
pline stays within its respective lane, conflict between the two 
need not prevail.
