How have Christian writers rationalised the idea of divine creation with critical thinking? Professor McGrath explains: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/cosmology-and-creation-how-do-they-relate-to-one-another

This lecture considers some themes within the Christian tradition dealing with the concept of "creation", noting especially Aristotle's notion of the eternity of the world, and the tensions this caused for Christian writers such as Thomas Aquinas. We then turn our attention to cosmology, noting the major scientific developments over the last century. The final section of the lecture will consider how a scientific "narrative of origination" relates to a religious "narrative of creation", and how these narratives intertwine and interconnect.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/cosmology-and-creation-how-do-they-relate-to-one-another
