For decades, evolutionists and creationists have waged war over the origins of life -- each side convinced it holds the definitive answer to humanity's deepest questions. But what if both camps are simply two factions of the same limited worldview?
In this provocative and wide-ranging work, Vine Deloria Jr. -- one of the most incisive Native American thinkers of the twentieth century -- dismantles the assumptions underlying both Darwinian evolution and biblical creationism. Drawing on the culture wars that erupted in 1990s Kansas as a lens, Deloria exposes the blind spots, anomalies, and internal contradictions that neither side is willing to confront.
Weaving together Native American oral traditions, non-Western cosmologies, and the emerging concept of Intelligent Design, Deloria charts a bold new path beyond the exhausted battle lines of Western science and religion -- one that takes seriously what mainstream discourse has long ignored.
Witty, erudite, and relentlessly challenging, Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern Myths is essential reading for anyone who suspects that the loudest arguments in the room are not always the most truthful ones.
