In the center, Tom Fowler, a parishioner at a convention last year . Tom recently co- published a book The Evolution Controversy: A Survey of Competing Theories that you will not find in just any library. I found a review of his work which you can find at Good Review.

The topic is Evolution and the two authors look at a variety of opinions. There is a paragraph that just might stir up a little interest in your mind. If it does not do that it cannot but make you think about who it might be that you are sitting next to in our church at Mass on the weekends.

....The second book would be an impartial examination of the several schools of scientific thought regarding human origins. It would cover the presuppositions of each school, the explanatory scope of their respective theories, the data marshalled both for and against, the legitimate inferences to be drawn, the predictive success of each theoretical model, and the degree to which each theory is falsifiable, which is an essential criterion for valid scientific work.

The Evolution Controversy
The first book has not yet been written, but the second book was published just last month: The Evolution Controversy: A Survey of Competing Theories by Thomas B. Fowler and Daniel Kuebler. Kuebler is a professor of biology at Franciscan University of Steubenville and Fowler is a physicist, a senior information technology engineer, and a philosopher to boot. Tom Fowler is also a personal friend, but friendship aside, what we have here are two sound Catholic thinkers with the credentials necessary to treat the complex topic they have chosen

Congratulations, Tom. When will you be having a signing ceremony?
