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.
