Sommario/riassunto: Reaching back to the origins of anti-evolutionism in the 1920's, and continuing to the promotion of intelligent design today, Michael Lienesch skillfully analyzes the creationism movement, one of the most formidable political movements of the twentieth century. With fresh insights, Lienesch retells the story of the 1925 Scopes "monkey" trial and reinterprets its meaning. In tracking the movement from that time to today, he explores the rise of creation science in the 1960's, the alliance with the New Christian Right in the 1980's, and the development of the theory of intelligent design in our own
