A fascinating and insightful book which gave me a far better understanding of the history and nature of the longstanding Evolution-Creation struggle. The author sees rival eschatologies as essentially at the heart of that struggle, namely, the difference between an eschatology that rejects the possibility of human progress in the years ahead and one which embraces such progress as both possible and important. As far as learning something new goes, this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In his latest book, Ruse uncovers surprising similarities between evolutionist and creationist thinking. Exploring the underlying philosophical commitments of evolutionists, he reveals that those most hostile to religion are just as evangelical as their fundamentalist opponents. But more crucially, and reaching beyond the biblical issues at stake, he demonstrates that these two diametrically opposed ideologies have, since the Enlightenment, engaged in a struggle for the privilege of defining human origins, moral values, and the nature of reality.
