Abstract: "This book analyzes fundamentalists' scientific and political attempts to advance creationism over evolution. The first chapter discusses the development of evolution from Darwin's original work to its standing as a supported tenet of modern science. Subsequent chapters trace the history of fundamentalism. The final chapters examine conflicting biblical interpretations and the Bible's historical accuracy."--Provided by publisher.
