Originally published in 1957. This book is concerned with the
conflict between "Darwinism" as the Victorians called it, and
Christianity, a conflict here re-stated in modern terms because it
so vitally affects our understanding of human nature and human
values today. The opening chapter describes the historical
background. There is a short account of evolution and the argument
over Genesis. The importance of natural selection is stressed, and
rival theories as to the means of animal evolution are criticised.
Discussions follow on whether the course of evolution has been
random or determined, on the argument from design, death in nature,
the biologist's methods and the difficulties in evolutionary
ethics.
