Where Darwin Meets the Bible

The conflict between creationists and evolutionists has raged ever since the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859.

Tracking the dizzying rhetorical heights and opportunistic political lows of this controversy, Larry Witham presents creationists and evolutionists in their own unfiltered voices. In an age marked both by a rising religious tide and daily scientific breakthroughs, Where Darwin Meets the Bible provides the standard account of this lasting conflict.
