Description

In light of the embattled status of evolutionary theory, particularly as “intelligent design” makes headway against Darwinism within the schools and within the courts, this now classic account of the roots of creationism assumes new relevance. Expanded and up to date to account for the appeal of intelligent design and the global spread of creationism, The Creationists offers a thorough, clear, and balanced overview of the arguments and figures on the heart of the debate.

Praised by both creationists and evolutionists for its comprehensiveness, the book meticulously traces the dramatic shift among Christian fundamentalists from acceptance of the earth’s antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah’s flood and its aftermath. Focusing especially on the upward thrust of this “flood geology,” Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the remarkable resurgence of antievolutionism for the reason that 1960s, in addition to the creationist movement’s tangled religious roots within the theologies of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and Adventists, among others. His book offers valuable insight into the origins of quite a lot of “creation science” think tanks and the people in the back of them. It also goes a long way toward explaining how creationism, until recently viewed as a “peculiarly American” phenomenon, has quietly but dynamically spread across the world–and found its expression out of doors Christianity in Judaism and Islam.
