This valuable study examines the classical Darwinian and neo-Darwinian views of evolution, as well as the critiques of these ideas presented by opponents of philosophical naturalism and atheism. The author approaches the subject as a Christian philosopher, reflecting on the evidence of contemporary science using the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas. With foreword by the noted Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe.

"Using the tools of philosophy, Professor Bonnette investigates the origin of true humanity. Along the way, he considers the questions of animal intelligence, the philosophical meaning of the species concept, Adam and Eve, and more. His demonstration that the standard evolution story is compatible with Christianity makes his conclusion that the evolution story itself may be shaky all the more impressive."

"Bonnette writes from a Christian and sometimes specifically Catholic perspective, and obviously strives to be fair to those with whom he disagrees, except for the most dogmatic proponents of scientistic materialism, whom he effectively skewers."
