Why Darwin Matters: The Case Against Intelligent Design | Michael Shermer

Evolution happened, and the theory describing it is one of the most well-founded in all of science. Then why do half of all Americans reject it?

In Why Darwin Matters, Michael Shermer examines what evolution really is, how we know it happened, how to test it, and why so many struggle to accept it.

He also discusses the history of the evolution-creation controversy from the Scopes “Monkey” trial of 1925, through the US Supreme Court case of 1987, to the ongoing trials today, demonstrating clearly how and why creationism and Intelligent Design theory are not science.
