As "intelligent design" makes headway against Darwinism in the schools and courts, this account of the roots of creationism assumes new relevance. Expanded and updated to account for the appeal of intelligent design and the global spread of creationism, this book offers a balanced overview of the arguments and figures at the heart of the debate.

"For those interested in the background of the modern revival of creationism, whether evolutionists or creationists, this book is a rich mine of information and historical insights."--Henry M. Morris, Institute for Creation Research
