Darwin's God: Evolution and the Problem of Evil

Cornelius Hunter brilliantly supports his thesis that Darwinism is a mixture of metaphysical dogma and biased scientific observation that at its core evolution is about God not science. --Phillip E. Johnson author Darwin on Trial Biophysicist Cornelius Hunter argues perceptively that the main supporting pole of the Darwinian tent has always been a theological assertion: God wouldnt have done it that way. Rather than demonstrating that evolution is capable of the wonders they attribute to it Darwinists rely on a man-made version of God to argue that He never would have made life with the particular suite of features we observe. In lucid and engaging prose Hunter shines a light on Darwinian theology making plain what is too often obscured by technical jargon. --Michael J. Behe Lehigh University This wonderfully insightful book will prove pivotal in the current reassessment of Darwinian evolution. Darwinists argue that evolution has to be true because no self-respecting deity would have created life the way we find it. Hunter unmasks this theological mode of argumentation and argues convincingly that it is not merely incidental but indeed essential to how Darwinists justify evolution. --William A. Dembski Baylor University A fascinating study of a much overlooked aspect of the origins controversy. --Stephen C. Meyer Whitworth College
