The Selfless Gene – A Review

The premise of this book was to show how one can believe in God and believe in Darwin, however it fails miserably. The author confesses in his preface that he not a theologian and his sloppy handling of the Scriptures is proof of that. A few paragraphs later in his introduction he states that he is bothered by Genesis. Why write a book attempting to reconcile a belief in Scriptures and a belief in Darwin when you obviously have no commitment whatsoever to the veracity of the Scriptures?

I found the book painful to read, not because the subject matter was difficult to understand, but because the author’s message was so logically inconsistent with it’s premise.

I do not recommend this book to anyone as it is a complete waste of time.
