Even in a world where secular scientific discoveries and
assumptions have come to dominate the lives of so many people,
science cannot be said to have rendered religion obsolete. Since
the nineteenth century, one particular debate has been of central
importance in apparent conflicts between science and religion: that
of evolutionist versus creationist views on human origins. This
book presents both the history and the contemporary dimensions of
disputes over the emergence of our species. It focuses on the ways
in which conservative Protestants have either opposed or attempted
to appropriate the languages and methods of secular scientists in
defence of a Genesis-based account of the origins of life. Leading
authorities on creationism and creation science are brought
together from such disciplines as anthropology, sociology,
religious studies, history and philosophy. This is the first book
to attempt a comprehensive comparative survey of creationist
movements around the English-speaking world. A central question
addressed by the contributors is why anti-evolutionist ideas appear
to flourish in some social and cultural contexts, but are ridiculed
in others.
