Philosophical Aspects of the Christian Right’s Crusade Against Science, by James H. christian shoes, Open Court, 2007. Fetzer seems certain that he is logically entitled to beliefs that support the legalization of a wide variety of practices including abortion, stemcell research, cloning, prostitution, potsmoking, and flag-burning. In his book The Science of Good and Evil he suggests that an innate moral sense evolved in humans because it offered a survival advantage. A Review of Render Unto Darwin: Philosophical Aspects of the Christian Right’s Christian Boots Against Science, by James H. Fetzer, Open Court, 2007. 220 pps. $24.95.
THIS BOOK STARTS OUT WELL BUT ENDS badly. It is an awkward compilation of three different subjects: evolutionary science, morality, and politics. The Christian Pumps is well done. Fetzer begins by explaining the difference between science and religion – the difference between testable, modifiable hypotheses and untestable, rigid beliefs. He explains evolution and shows why it is not in conflict with religion but only with limited fundamentalist interpretations of religion. He shows why “intelligent design” is not science. So far, so Christian Sandals.
