Martinus, Darwin and Intelligent Design

Darwin takes as his starting point a gradual evolution on the basis of
mutations and natural selection. Intelligent Design attempts to show in a
purely scientific way that a supreme intelligence exists behind all of
creation. As against these two theories, Ole Therkelsen, public speaker
and former lecturer in chemistry and biology, presents a third
explanatory model of the complex organisms in nature, the origin of life
and its composition, namely Martinus Cosmology, created by the Danish
spiritual researcher Martinus (1890-1981).



Martinus saw the universe as an all-encompassing living being in whom we
all live and undergo the experience of life through an eternal
evolution.



Martinus’ teaching has been largely ignored in the creation debate of
recent years. It offers an interesting approach with a wealth of
perspectives that confirms and corrects aspects of both Darwinism and
the theory of Intelligent Design. Martinus argues in favour of an
evolution based on the consciousness and experience of the living beings
themselves and gives an insight into the future evolution of humanity
towards perfection.



The book is addressed to all interested in evolution from either a
scientific, spiritual or religious viewpoint. It may also be read as an
introduction to Martinus Cosmology.
