Addressing the controversial question, Is the universe intelligently designed? this introductory booklet surveys critical problems in Darwinian theory and creationist theology: organic complexity and the origin of life; the relationship of consciousness and matter; who or what is God; design, disparity, and imperfection; and the origin and evolution of man. The discussion re-examines these issues in light of modern scientific research and basic theosophic concepts underlying the world's religious traditions suggesting there is a middle ground reconciling spiritual intuition and scientific knowledge.
