An account of the conflict between creationists and evolutionists that has raged ever since the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859. Tracking the rhetorical heights and political lows of this controversy, this book attempts to present creationists and evolutionists in their own unfiltered voices.
Features the two inter-related movements - the science and religion dialogue, which stretches from the laboratories of Nobelists to inner sancta of the Vatican, and the intelligent design movement, which by reviving a natural theology of design in nature has challenged the Darwinian strongholds in science and public education.
