A Politically Powerful Hoax
• Evolutionary Theory
From a review of Intelligent Thought, a collection of essays on the Intelligent Design Movement:
We need this book because its authors have name recognition with the general reading public, because they write well, and because the fight will not end any time soon. Humanity needs to come to grips, sooner rather than later, with its biological meanings, and with the values and anti-values of its religious belief systems. The fight is just beginning. If the real values of religion and spirituality, which include humility before the wonders of nature, are to survive our rising tastes for religious war and destruction, then more than just an elite among us must understand science - and what it yields as description of physical reality through deep time. The more often the small faction of us who read can pause to browse engaging books like Intelligent Thought, the better is the chance that we can stop the impetus of Homo sapiens toward self-destruction.
