About This Book

The author surveys the Darwinian hypothesis and related scientific proposals, weighing lines of evidence and perceived gaps. He reviews origins of the universe and life, the fossil record, the permanence of species, rudimentary organs, instincts, and heredity, and questions interpretive assumptions in evolutionary theory. Attention is given to human descent and historical perspectives, while arguments for design and teleology are presented as alternatives. Chapters combine critical analysis of empirical claims with philosophical and theological reflections, arguing that methodological bias and unresolved explanatory problems weaken prevailing evolutionary explanations.
