Why do so many Americans reject the modern theory of evolution?
Seeking answers, mathematician Jason Rosenhouse became a regular
attendee at creationist conferences and other gatherings. After ten
years of attending events like the giant Creation Mega-Conference
in Lynchburg, Virginia, and visiting sites like the Creation Museum
in Petersburg, Kentucky, and after hundreds of mostly friendly
conversations with creationists of varying stripes, he has emerged
with a story to tell, a story that goes well beyond the usual
stereotypes of Bible-thumping fanatics railing against coldly
rational scientists. Through anecdotes, personal reflections, and
scientific and philosophical discussion, Rosenhouse presents a more
down-to-earth picture of modern creationism and the people who
espouse it. He also tells the story of his own nonbeliever's
attempt to understand a major aspect of American religion. Forced
to wrestle with his views about religion and science, Rosenhouse
found himself drawn into a new world of ideas previously unknown to
him, arriving at a sharper understanding of the reality of science
versus religion disputes, and how these debates look to those
beyond the ivory tower.
