{"product_id":"why-evolution-works-and-creationism-matt-young-9780813545509","title":"Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails)","description":"Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) is an impassioned argument in favor of science--primarily the theory of evolution--and against creationism. Why impassioned? Should not scientists be dispassionate in their work? \"Perhaps,\" write the authors, \"but it is impossible to remain neutral when our most successful scientific theories are under attack, for religious and other reasons, by laypeople and even some scientists who willfully distort scientific findings and use them for their own purposes.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on what other books omit, how science works and how pseudoscience works, Matt Young and Paul K. Strode demonstrate the futility of \"scientific\" creationism. They debunk the notion of intelligent design and other arguments that show evolution could not have produced life in its present form. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConcluding with a frank discussion of science and religion, Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) argues that science by no means excludes religion, though it ought tocast doubt on certain religious claims that are contrary to known scientific fact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Young,Paul Strode\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813545501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813545509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublisher's Weekly Annex\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/03\/2009","brand":"Matt Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065174667519,"sku":"9780813545509","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3156a66-777e-46d6-b07c-a30972dde2cc.jpg?v=1768673485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-evolution-works-and-creationism-matt-young-9780813545509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
