Darwin's Pious Idea: Why the Ultra-Darwinists and Creationists Both Get It Wrong

According to British scholar Conor Cunningham the debate today between religion and evolution has been hijacked by extremists: on one side stand fundamentalist believers who reject evolution outright; on the opposing side are fundamentalist atheists who claim that Darwins theory rules out the possibility of God. Both sides are dead wrong argues Cunningham who is at once a Christian and a firm believer in the theory of evolution. In Darwins Pious Idea Cunningham puts forth a trenchant compelling case for both creation and evolution drawing skillfully on an array of philosophical theological historical and scientific sources to buttress his arguments.
