Review: Here the author meticulously traces the history of creationism, beginning with the disputation after Darwin published his book in 1859 and noting the dramatic shift among Christian fundamentalists from acceptance of the Earth’s antiquity to present-day scientific creationists who believe that most fossils date back to Noah’s flood and its aftermath. It gives both sides of the evolution vs. creationism debate, with new chapters that address current views with the recent rise in the intelligent design movement and the global spread of antievolutionism.
