Creationism in a South Korean Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Science, Religion, and the Struggle against Evolution

Produktbeschreibung

Park investigates the unexpected success of early Korean creationists, who were mostly scientists, and argues that creationism is not a product of the lack of intelligence or proper scientific education, but a consequence of more profound social developments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
