Science vs. religion? : intelligent design and the problem of evolution
"Steve Fuller examines the apparent clash between science and religion by focusing on the heated debates about evolution and intelligent design theory. In so doing, he claims that "science vs religion" is in fact a false dichotomy. For Fuller, supposedly intellectual disputes, such as those between creationist and evolutionist accounts of life, often disguise other institutionally driven conflicts, such as the struggle between State and Church to be the source of legitimate authority in society." "This book will appeal to all readers seeking to make sense of the recurrent debates about creation and evolution, especially those looking for an intellectually exciting confrontation with the politics and promise of intelligent design theory."--BOOK JACKET
