Description
Explains the facts of evolution and exposes the intelligent design (ID) movement¿s real agenda. Half of all Americans reject the theory of evolution, and ID campaigns are gaining ground. Shermer decodes the scientific evidence to show that evolution is not ¿just a theory¿ and illustrates how it achieves the design of life through the bottom-up process of natural selection. Argues that ID proponents are invoking a combination of bad science, political ideology, and flawed theology. He refutes their pseudoscientific arguments and then demonstrates why conservatives and people of faith can and should embrace evolution. He appraises the evolutionary questions that truly need to be settled, building a powerful argument for science itself.
