" (Methodist Recorder, 22 September 2011)"But if one had to choose between them, I would recommend the book under review. Creationism/intelligent design within the context of natural theologyThe writing is clear and readable with a wealth of documentation. It presents a synthesis of much of his thinking, supported by richly informative documentation that, in range and volume, is little short of astonishing." (Science & Education, 2011)"The prolific theologian argues that Darwin's own faith and worldview allowed for complexities and intricacies in the intersection of faith and science."

Darwinism and the Divine examines the implications of evolutionary thought for natural theology, from the time of publication of Darwin's On theOrigin of Species to current debates on creationism and intelligent design.

• Questions whether Darwin's theory of natural selection really shook our fundamental beliefs, or whether they served to transform and illuminate our views on the origins and meaning of life
• Identifies the forms of natural theology that emerged in 19th-century England and how they were affected by Darwinism
• The most detailed study yet of the intellectual background to William Paley's famous and influential approach to natural theology, set out in 1802
• Brings together material from a variety of disciplines, including the history of ideas, historical and systematic theology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, sociology, and the cognitive science of religion
• Considers how Christian belief has adapted to Darwinism, and asks whether there is a place for design both in the world of science and the world of theology
• A thought-provoking exploration of 21st-century views on evolutionary thought and natural theology, written by the world-renowned theologian and bestselling author

Although such a response is fine in the movie theater, it is not appropriate in the courtroom. How can judges and jurors resist the inclination to be swept away by powerful images and the narrative they tell? Part of the answer lies in education.

The essence of the book is that political correctness has led us down the path of thinking we should all go to college, due to the belief that we are all equally suited in mental capacity, social upbringing, and economic ability to survive such an ordeal. That was not the idea of Cyril Scott. As a bonus, there is a recipe for makin
