Responsibility for Creation

Abstract

The struggle to overcome the clash of evolutionary thought and creationism, at the same time as affirming the anthropic principle within a scientific view of the cosmos, is bringing about a totally new situation where scientific and technological progress have to be matched by genuine human development. The exercise of responsibility on a planetary scale demands that systematic theology be capable of offering its specific contribution in conversation with the world cultural context and expressly facing the issue of human responsibility for creation.
