Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on how science works and how pseudoscience works, this work demonstrates the futility of 'scientific' creationism. It debunks the notion of intelligent design and other arguments that show evolution could not have produced life in its present form. It concludes with a frank discussion of science and religion.
