In the Denver Post, Dr. Doug Groothuis, professor of philosophy at Denver Seminary, reviewed two books released within a few weeks of each other. They address Darwinism and its critics, but in radically different ways. Not only do the authors hold entirely different positions on Darwinism and the alternative theory of intelligent design, but there also is a vast chasm between the tone and approach of these books.
Jonathan Wells, who holds doctorates in both religion and embryology, is a leading advocate of intelligent design. You can purchase his new book, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design" by clicking HERE.
On the other hand, editor and author Michael Shermer, formerly a professor of psychology, is generally condescending toward intelligent design. His book is also available now by clicking the title Why Darwin Matters: The Case Against Intelligent Design
