Summary

What does the challenge to Darwin's theory of evolution in America today mean for our future? To Kenneth R. Miller, award-winning professor of biology at Brown University, the rise of "Intelligent Design" is symptomatic of a much greater struggle: one involving a broad assault on the very reason and skepticism that have fueled our stunning scientific advances. A truly comprehensive book, Only a Theory does more than show why ID collapses as a scientific movement-it passionately lays out a prescription for how we can save the "Scientific soul" to which America owes so much. Book jacket.
