Been meaning to read something on Darwin / Evolution / Creation / Theism for a while now. So when this book "Rescuing Darwin" dropped through the letterbox, (intellectual) laziness and stinginess took hold and I decided to read it.
I fell asleep a bit (been working at an exhibition all week), but enjoyed the read.
Thanks to Christian Research for sending it out.
I have to say it uncovered whole valleys of sloppy thinking in my mental landscape - but then what's new!
The book gives a good understanding of both contemporary and older forms of "creationism" as well as "intelligent design".
It also looks at the current fad amongst "evangelical" atheists for using Darwin as a blunt weapon in arguing against the existence of God. I'm torn between pictures of God being amused and angry at their views....
Oh - and at the end I found that it is released under a Creative Commons license - cool! So if you like you can download it for free.
