Darwinism as religion : what literature tells us about evolution / Michael Ruse.

New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2017]

xvi, 310 pages ; 25 cm

Darwinism as Religion argues that the theory of evolution given by Charles Darwin in the nineteenth century has always functioned as much as a secular form of religion as anything purely scientific. Through the words of novelists and poets, Michael Ruse argues that Darwin took us from the secure world of Christian faith into a darker, less friendly world of chance and lack of meaning.
