| Summary: | In this book, Frank Ravitch seeks to entertain and discredit creationist arguments for including intelligent design in the public school science curriculum. Creationism arose to attack Darwin's theory of evolution—the cornerstone of modern biological science. Religion-based creationism fought the idea that species evolve and was particularly hostile to Darwin's theory of natural selection. Darwinism upset creationists “because it conflicted with the biblical account of living things created by God in unchanging form, and because it suggested the age of the earth was far greater than theologians estimated by using the Bible,” (Gene R. Shreve, “Religion, Science and the Secular State: Creationism in American Public Schools,” American Journal of Comparative Law 58 [2010]: 52–53). |
