About this title

Synopsis

Professor H James Birx shows how the never-ending controversy of human evolution came to be. He details the events that caused thinkers like Charles Darwin to develop his theory of evolution, and what ideas caused some people to reconcile a somewhat mystical theology with a concrete model of the universe. He tells you how Darwin's work infuriated everybody from "God-fearing" Christians to the church hierarchies. Birx explains how scientific advances and philosophical arguments have made beliefs about divine intervention as the origin of man a moot point. He shows how creationism ignores proven scientific facts, and how human evolution remains a much sounder truth. You will read how some western religions are starting to accept evolution as the process which creates life on earth. You will also learn why scientific evolution and creationism have not been accepted together and how bold attempts to merge the two ideas have failed miserably.
