Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) is an impassioned
argument in favor of science - primarily the theory of evolution -
and against creationism. Why impassioned? Should not scientists be
dispassionate in their work? 'Perhaps', write the authors, 'but it
is impossible to remain neutral when our most successful scientific
theories are under attack, for religious and other reasons, by
laypeople and even some scientists who willfully distort scientific
findings and use them for their own purposes.' Focusing on what
other books omit, how science works and how pseudoscience works,
Matt Young and Paul K. Strode demonstrate the futility of
'scientific' creationism. They debunk the notion of intelligent
design and other arguments that show evolution could not have
produced life in its present form. Concluding with a frank
discussion of science and religion, ""Why Evolution Works (and
Creationism Fails)"" argues that science by no means excludes
religion, though it ought to cast doubt on certain religious claims
that are contrary to known scientific fact. A few words from the
authors...' We address this book, in part, to those who, for
whatever reasons, deny what we consider well-founded scientific
facts such as the antiquity of the Earth and the descent of
species. At the very least, they carry an obligation to understand
precisely what they reject. We also hope to provide parents,
teachers, and others with sound arguments they can easily
understand and give them ammunition with which to defend modern
science.'
