This amusing, acerbic collection of essays examines every facet of the evolution/creationism controversy. Delos B. McKown exposes the ambiguous standing of "creation science" in public education, its roots in American fundamentalism, its incompatibility with scientific inquiry, and the clever rhetorical ploys "scientific creationists" use to cover their tracks.
Delos B. McKown (Auburn, AL)is professor emeritus and the former chairman of the philosophy department at Auburn University. He is the author of The Mythmaker's Magic: Behind the Illusion of "Creation Science" and With Faith and Fury.
