Reviews
Many Catholic intellectuals glibly assume that they can integrate Darwinian theory with Catholic belief. They seem unaware of the serious philosophical and theological problems with such a strategy, as detailed by Michael Chabarek in this important book. Of course, if we knew that Darwinian theory was a true and complete account of biological origins, then Catholics would have a duty to accommodate it. But, as Chabarek shows, there is a strong scientific case against the overweening claims of Darwinism and in favor of intelligent design, its controversial alternative. Catholic theologians and philosophers who are interested in the boundaries between theology and science will have to take account of this thorough volume. --Jay Richards, Catholic University of America
