Rumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are in the publisher ' s pipelines. A few have already appeared. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution of universe and life. Cosmology , geology , and biology have provided a consistent , unified, and constantly improving account of what happened. "Scientific" creationism, which is being pushed by some for "equal time" in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, is based on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority of nonfundamentalist religious leaders have come to regard "scientific" creationism as bad science and bad religion.
The first four chapters of Kitcher's book give a very brief introduction to evolution. At appropriate places, he introduces the criticisms of the creationists and provides answers. In the last three chapters, he takes off his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating.He describes their programs and tactics, and, for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists, the extent of their deception and distortion may come as an unpleasant surprise. When their basic motivation is religious, one might have expected more Christian behavior.
Kitcher is a philosopher, and this may account, in part, for the clarity and effectiveness of his arguments. The non-specialist will be able to obtain at least a notion of the sorts of data and argument that support evolutionary theory. The final chapter on the creationists will be extremely clear to all. On the dust jacket of this fine book, Stephen Jay Gould says: "This book stands for reason itself. "And so it does---and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate
【原文翻译】
选择答案：B B D D
有传言说，有20 多本关于创世论与进化论之争的书即将出版，有几本已经面世了。所有这些书的目的是试图告诉那些感到困惑的而且常常是还不开通的芸芸众生：就宇宙和生命的起源与发展问题而言，不可能存在两种都成立的科学理论。对于所发生的一切，宇宙学、地质学、生物学已经提供了一贯的、统一的并且是在不断完善的解释。当课堂上讲授进化论时，有些人就想争抢“相同的课时”来解释“科学”创世论，其实科学创世论是基于宗教，而非科学。实际上，所有科学家和大多数非原教旨主义宗教领袖们都已将“科学”创世论看作是拙劣的科学和拙劣的宗教。
Kitcher 的书在前四章中对进化做了简单的介绍。在合适的地方，他介绍了对创世论者的批判并给出了回答。在最后三章中，他终于显露出本意，给创世论者一顿痛击。他描述了这些人伎俩，对那些不熟悉创世论者的人来说，这些人对真相的欺骗和歪曲程度让人不快和震惊。因为既然这些人的最初动机是宗教，他们本应该采取更加符合基督教徒的行为。
Kitcher 是位哲学家，这也许部分解释了他的论证为何如此清晰和有效。非专业人士起码可以了解支持进化论的各种数据和观点。关于创世论者的最后一章对每个人来说都阐述得极为清楚。这部优秀作品的护封上引用了斯蒂芬.杰.古尔德的一句话，“这本书本身就代表了理性”。的确如此——如果理性是创世论和进化论之争的惟一裁判，一切问题就解决了。
