Synopsis

Charles Darwin has been at the center of white-hot public debate for more than a century. In Living With Darwin, Philip Kitcher stokes the flames swirling around Darwin's theory, sifting through the scientific evidence for evolution, Creation Science, and Intelligent Design, and revealing why evolution has been the object of such vehement attack. But Kitcher points out that it is important to recognize not only the validity of evolution, but also the cost of Darwin's great idea--its profound effect on our religious beliefs and aspirations.
