Given I enjoyed that book, I was eager to read his What is Man? Adam, Alien, or Ape? Andrews has unique writing style in that he is able to take scientific and theological topics and weave in humor as well as personal antidotes. He has a wealth of experience and has the credentials that demonstrate he knows what he is talking about. What is Man? Adam, Alien, or Ape? discusses the “big†topics of the day such as contemporary research on the beginning of the universe, the multiverse, the millions of dollars spent on attempting to find if we are alone in the universe, the fine tuning argument, the fossil record, common descent, genetic research, as well as topics that are debated in Christian circles (i.e., The Historical Adam). It is obvious this book is targeted on the debates surrounding origins. After all, it is from this worldview question that everything flows from. Andrews cites plenty of research which includes both sides of the argument. He is fair in that he presents the issues of the current debate and cites people on both sides of these issues. The reader can purse further research by examining the footnotes with the sources.For me personally, I walked away from this book asking myself again why so many people assume many of these issues are settled. In other words, is the evidence for a multiverse so incredible that we just know we are one of many universes that got lucky? No, not really. Is the genetic evidence overwhelming for common descent? Not really! Has Lawrence Krauss showed we can get a universe from nothing? No! The list goes on. Given I do campus apologetics ministry, I would love to see this book go into the hands of college students. Note that Andrews doesn’t get into all the various creation models in this book. That’s fine with me. This book primarily deals with the science though it does weave together some theology as well. That’s fine with me.I enjoyed this book and highly recommended it to anyone and everyone!
I like Edgar. He quick witted, and writes in layman’s terms.
(Review written by Lydia McGrew)Edgar Andrews’s What is Man? Adam, Alien, or Ape is a charming survey of arguments for God’s existence and for the uniqueness of man. Andrews is an eminent British physicist, but he is not a dry academic. He has an impressive capacity for writing with humor and grace, using vivid extended metaphors. This permits even a non-scientist to follow his argument in scientific areas. For example, his use of a volcano with an endless supply of magma to explain the inflation multiverse theory was quite useful to me. His discussion of taxes (of all things) as characteristic of human society will stick with me for a long time as a challenge to attempts to blur the distinction between truly sapient societies and the social interactions of apes. His chapter titles alone (e.g., “The Cheshire Cat Cosmos,†“Small Flat Bugs,†“Aristotle and the Snowballâ€) succeed in interesting the reader and keeping one going through the book, curious to see what he will say under those headings.One small area of disagreement concerning physics arises from Andrews’s apparent idea that a multiverse in which the laws and constants vary randomly is not possible, since this would make our own universe incomprehensible. I do not see how this conclusion follows but find it interesting that a physicist thinks that our own laws must be in some strong sense necessary in order for scientific investigation of them to be possible.The book covers a wide range of material, from the origins of the entire universe to biological evolution to the historical evidence for Christianity. As a writer myself, I found it striking that for the most part I did not find it either cramped or rushed. Despite the tremendous amount of material that he has decided to touch on, Andrews has hit a good balance between “not enough†and “too much†coverage of the details. Andrews’s command of a huge range of information is also noteworthy. I was especially struck by his knowledge of genetic and other evidential challenges to Darwinian evolution, though he is a physicist, and by his ability to explain these clearly.In the area of philosophy, I was quite pleased to see Andrews defend the unpopular position of dualism, using the charming extended metaphor of an inhabitant in a house. He humorously imagines various materialist realtors who try to tell the incredulous tenant of the house that he does not exist. Via this metaphor, he explained his opposition to materialism of various sorts, including “emergence†views, and even Aristotelian hylemorphism, which some Christians find an attractive alternative to materialism. On this point I strongly agree with Andrews that hylemorphism is philosophically wrong. He also is rightly unfazed by the question, “How can mind interact with matter?†My one quibble about this section of the book is that Andrews definitely argues for interactive substance dualism, yet in a later chapter on worldviews he seems briefly to endorse Berkeleyan idealism. These two views are not compatible. Berkeley certainly rejected materialism, but he argued against mind-independent physical reality.Andrews is to be commended as well for his staunch (and detailed) defense of the uniqueness of man, in line with the title of the book, and his rejection of theistic evolutionary scenarios according to which God worked invisibly to bring man into existence by what appeared to be purely natural descent from ape-like ancestors. Andrews rightly argues both that no such conclusion is supported by the biological evidence and that such a conclusion is at odds with the anthropology taught by Christian doctrine and essential to man’s unique dignity.In these chapters it is interesting to see how Andrews simply does not say what his own position is concerning the age of the earth. He manages to write in a way that does not seem evasive on this issue, since he is so straightforwardly addressing many other controversial matters (like the supposed evolution of man, the historicity of a strongly literal Adam, and the historical Fall of man). Still, one is naturally curious about what he thinks of an issue that is so controversial within the Christian community.Andrews’s chapter on the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus is necessarily brief. Since this is one of my own areas of specialty, it is perhaps not surprising that I would have liked to see a slightly longer treatment with citation of an even wider range of material. At the same time, I am struck positively by the way that Andrews does not confine himself merely to the popular, but in my opinion insufficient, “minimal facts†argument for the resurrection. He expressly says that it is important to use the New Testament documents as historical evidence, and he carefully explains that this is not circular, since we investigate these documents in other ways and find that circumstantial evidence supports their accuracy. He begins this chapter with a quotation from the 19th-century thinker Thomas Arnold, which states that the resurrection is supported by strong evidence “of every sort.†Both the decision to quote a 19th-century writer and the robust evidentialism are tacit counters to the more minimalist approach that is too often taken among Christian apologists. In his summary of the evidence for the resurrection, Andrews refers without apology to the diversity of the accounts as a strength (arguing for their independence) and to the detailed testimonies of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus and of those who claimed to have eaten with Jesus at the Sea of Galilee. This sort of information is what we need to be talking about when we defend this central claim of Christianity.Andrews footnotes at the end of his discussion of the resurrection the work of Gary Habermas, which does tend to confine itself mostly to what is “agreed upon by the vast majority of scholars.†This is more limiting than the data set that Andrews is alluding to. Discussion of the wider range of data (Amazon does not allow links in reviews) to which Andrews himself alludes can be found in Timothy and Lydia McGrew, “A Cumulative Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Nazareth,†available in pre-print form through lydiamcgrew.com and found in final form in the Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology, and “Minimal Facts vs. Maximal Data,†a fairly recent webinar by Lydia McGrew given to the Apologetics Academy (available on the webinars page at lydiamcgrew.com). But once again, this is not intended as a major criticism of Andrews. If anything, his staunch and unselfconscious reference to the Gospels’ resurrection accounts as historical sources is the most important facet of his discussion of the resurrection.Andrews is unabashedly attempting to interest his readers in Christianity for the sake of eternity, yet he carries out this apologetic task with objectivity, erudition, and a light touch.I recommend this charming book both for laymen and scholars interested in the vital question, “What is man?â€(I received a paperback copy of this book at a conference. A positive review was not required in return for the copy. I have read this entire book before reviewing.)
