Dr. Walp spent his early adult years as a police detective. During those years, Walp's investigative motivation was understanding truth from an empirical standpoint, not conjecture or a "gut feeling." Question Everything delves into controversial topics within the scientific world concerning creationism: God or nature, radiometric dating methods, quantum physics, dark energy/mass, String Theory, cosmology, Epigenetics, fossils, and others.
Walp dismisses individual perceptions and, like the detective he once was, dissects and analyzes theoretical science to determine fact from theory. A crowd can point at a suspect and say, "He did it," but the detective has to prove it. Walp encourages readers to think, not what to think.
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." Thomas Jefferson
Excellent read. I love reading books concerning Christianity that are written from a legal perspective, as they speak to my need for intellectual food.
In this book, Walp considers some of the newer fields of science from the Christian perspective - dark energy and matter, epigenetics, and cosmology, to list a few. I have long held that the two - Christianity and Science - are not opposed to one another, and I was excited to find that Walp is in agreement.
Walp went over some ground I've previously read about, but he introduces some new associations in this book that really expanded my horizons and made me excited about possibilities. Particularly his discussion on dark matter and dark energy. This section had me walking around for days afterwards with a spring in my step, peace and joy in my heart, as I contemplated the possibilities.
Written clearly and logically, Walp doesn't tell the reader what to believe. Instead, he presents the evidence - as trained to do from his past as a detective - and invites the reader to draw their own conclusions. A sober, well-researched and well-presented book.
