Download Why Darwin Matters: The Case for Evolution and Against Intelligent Design AudioBook Free
A creationist-turned-scientist demonstrates the reality of evolution and exposes Intelligent Design's real agenda
Science is on the defensive. Half of Americans reject the theory of evolution and "Intelligent Design" promotions are gaining ground. Classroom by school room, creationism is overthrowing biology.
In Why Darwin Concerns, bestselling author Michael Shermer points out the way the newest brand of creationism attracts our predisposition to consider a developer behind life's complexity. Shermer decodes the scientific evidence showing that evolution is not "only a theory" and illustrates how it achieves the design of life through the bottom-up procedure for natural selection. Shermer, once an evangelical Christian and a creationist, argues that Intelligent Design proponents are invoking a mixture of bad research, political antipathy, and flawed theology. He refutes their pseudoscientific arguments and then shows why conservatives and people of faith can and should embrace evolution. Then appraises the evolutionary questions that truly need to be settled, creating a powerful debate for research itself.
Slicing the politics away from the reality, Why Darwin Concerns can be an incisive study of what is on the line in the argument over evolution.
