Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul

Few have weighed in on the nation's contentious debate over evolution as effectively as Kenneth R. Miller. In Only a Theory, Miller-the highly regarded scientist who offered expert testimony at the 2005 trial over the teaching of evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania-eloquently shows how "Intelligent Design" collapses at the very moment one begins to take it seriously. Miller shows that the attack on evolution is a broader assault on the skepticism and reason that have fueled America's remarkable scientific advances, and offers an encouraging prescription for how we can save the nation's "scientific soul" to which we owe so much.

Finding Darwin's God

Ken Miller is both an outstanding scientist and a gifted teacher. In this scholarly book, he uses his unusual abilities to explain the overwhelming evidence for evolution in a lucid and very entertaining way. In this process, he directly addresses the arguments that are made by each of the various schools of modern creationism. Dr. Miller is also a deeply religious person, and in a very personal and direct way he takes issue with those scientists who claim that modern science has disproven the existence of God. He convincingly argues that science and religion offer different, but compatible, ways of viewing the world. In taking this position, he is supported by the leaders of most of the world’s major religions. His book should be read by all those who want to understand this central issue.
