Product Description
Creationism has made a comeback recently by becoming supposedly more sophisticated. There is, however, nothing new in the arguments of recent "intelligent design" creationists. There is no substance to their claims and evolutionary biologists do not take them seriously. Nevertheless, creationists have recently made news by stealthily taking over the Kansas State Board of Education and the Oklahoma State Textbook Committee. They have used this power to remove evolution from the science standards in Kansas and to require that textbooks used in Oklahoma include an evolution disclaimer. Similar efforts are being made in many states. Creationists often use the arguments of the apparent leader of the "new creationism," University of California at Berkeley law professor Phillip E. Johnson. Johnson has written several books aimed at the general public which are highly critical of Darwinism. Impeaching Mere Creationism provides a concise, non-technical, common sense rebuttal to the claims of Johnson and other "intelligent design" creationists.

Reader Reviews
Since early childhood, I have been fascinated by observing animal & human behavior as well as dissecting specimens, and pondering the similarities to myself and my species. Phil has a unique view on the origins & meaning of life we have all contemplated. Like me, he seems to believe his powers of reason and observation over the rote indoctrinations of school teachers and religious leaders. It's nice to know that I am neither alone nor irrational for questioning conventional wisdom. Still, it's lonely being one of the few that knows that the world isn't flat and that the universe doesn't revolve around the earth. If you don't want your literal creationist paradigm shattered, don't read this book.
