If you accept evolutionary theory, can you also believe in God? Are
human beings superior to other animals, or is this just a human
prejudice? Does Darwin have implications for heated issues like
euthanasia and animal rights? Does evolution tell us the purpose of
life, or does it imply that life has no ultimate purpose? Does
evolution tell us what is morally right and wrong, or does it imply
that ultimately 'nothing' is right or wrong? In this fascinating and
intriguing book, Steve Stewart-Williams addresses these and other
fundamental philosophical questions raised by evolutionary theory and
the exciting new field of evolutionary psychology. Drawing on biology,
psychology and philosophy, he argues that Darwinian science supports a
view of a godless universe devoid of ultimate purpose or moral
structure, but that we can still live a good life and a happy life
within the confines of this view.
