Dude, What Are We Thinking?

If you think Darwinism is only about biology, think again. That’s the message in Dude, What Are We Thinking? by Keith Simpson. Western schools and media promote Darwinian philosophy, and evolutionary language fills our culture. But most Americans still reject Darwinism. Are we dumb? Are we religious nuts? Or is something else going on?

Maybe Americans reject Darwinism because we know that it functions like religion. Darwinian champions sound more like atheistic evangelists than dispassionate scientists. They tell us life is unguided and accidental. They tell us human beings have no spiritual identity. They tell us moral standards are survival mechanisms that change like the wind. These are the doctrines of Darwinism.

But is Darwinian orthodoxy scientific? Do Chambered Nautili demonstrate life has no design? Does DNA code prove life is accidental? Does abiogenesis indicate that God is dead? Keith Simpson addresses all of these issues in this provocative and enjoy-able challenge to Darwinian thinking.

You embrace faith and science. But you’re not sure how to sort out conflicting ideas churning in our culture. And you don’t know what to tell your kids. Strident Darwinian preachers tell us God is dead. Magazines report human beings are accidents of nature. And textbooks teach our kids that life is unguided and purposeless.

What’s going on here? Has science disproved God? Why do atheistic evangelists masquerade as scientists? Is Darwinism about biology or is it an all-encompassing philosophy of life? If you grapple with these questions, don’t worry. You are not alone.

In Dude, What Are We Thinking? Keith Simpson shares his real-life discussions with Sam, a family friend and Darwinian believer. In an engaging way—and through completely different belief systems—their conversations provide perspective to Darwinian history, evidence, and culture. They also shed light on some of the dangerous Darwinian ideas that have wormed their way into our consciousness.
