Why Evolution?
Why do scientists accept evolution?
Why Evolution? clearly explains the current evidence to answer the question: "How did we get here?"
Biologist Devin Carroll, Ph.D., addresses the seven theories that together form the basis of the science of evolution. Aimed at readers with a high school understanding of biology, this 18-page book tells in frank and interesting language what we can prove about ancient life, an old Earth, speciation, common descent, natural selection, good mutations, and the origins of the first life. The book ends with an overview of evolution from the first bacteria to modern humans.
With lively illustrations by Marion Young, Why Evolution? will help readers of all ages understand evolution and the process of scientific verification. While pointing out the current gaps in knowledge, Carroll also presents the hard evidence that has led scientists to reject creationism.
At a time when schools are discouraged from teaching evolution honestly and thoroughly, families and schools need this concise, clear book. Provide it to your religious education program and give extra copies to your local schools and libraries.
