Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) is an impassioned argument in favor of scienceùprimarily the theory of evolutionùand against creationism. Why impassioned? Should not scientists be dispassionate in their work? "Perhaps," write the authors, "but it is impossible to remain neutral when our most successful scientific theories are under attack, for religious and other reasons, by laypeople and even some scientists who willfully distort scientific findings and use them for their own purposes."
