Editorial Reviews
Review
"A masterpiece. . . . (It) should be required reading in every high-school science course." -- Heinrich K. Eichhorn, professor of astronomy, University of Florida, letter to author, 1993
From the Publisher
In this rhymed-verse parody of THE CANTERBURY TALES, ten experts (eight scientists, a philosopher, and a Bible scholar) tell ten "tales"--lively verse essays in their fields of specialization--about the overwhelming evidence for evolution and the pseudoscientific nature of "creation science." The Bible scholar, who has the last word, makes the point that evolution and creation--shorn of fundamentalist biblical literalism--need not be incompatible concepts. With extensive notes, bibliography, and index, THE EVOLUTIONARY TALES is a valuable reference source on creation/evolution as well as an informative entertainment.
