Darwin's Pious Idea: Why the Ultra-Darwinists and Creationists Both Get It Wrong (Interventions

by Conor Cunningham

Interventions (INTS) Cogent, provocative take on the hot-button subject of evolution According to British scholar Conor Cunningham, the debate today between religion and evolution has been hijacked by on one side stand fundamentalist believers who reject evolution outright, and opposing them are fundamentalist atheists who claim that Darwin's theory rules out the possibility of God. Both sides are dead wrong, argues Cunningham, who is at once a Christian and a firm believer in the theory of evolution. In Darwin's Pious Idea Cunningham puts forth a trenchant, compelling case for both creation and evolution, drawing skillfully on an array of philosophical, theological, historical, and scientific sources to buttress his arguments.
