Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) is an impassioned argument in favor of scienceaprimarily the theory of evolutionaand against creationism. Why impassioned? Should not scientists be dispassionate in their work? aPerhaps,a write the authors, abut 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.aFocusing on what other books omit, how science works and how pseudoscience works, Matt Young and Paul K. Strode demonstrate the futility of ascientifica creationism. They debunk the notion of intelligent design and other arguments that show evolution could not have produced life in its present form.Concluding 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.
