Mr. Berlinski does an excellent job of debunking the argument given by atheistic and agnostic scientists and their supporters that Darwinism and science have proven the Bible and the Judeo-Christian view to be outdated and obsolete. And he does it with cleverness and humor. I highly recommend this book to anyone on either side of the issue.
