This series of articles provide a chapter by chapter review of The Serpent's Promise - British evolutionist professor Steve Jones' latest attempt to belittle the Bible and delay the inevitable demise of Darwinism.
The book is dedicated to the memory of his great grand-father, Rev William Morgan, who, we are informed, was a Christian preacher for some forty years. I wonder what Morgan would think of his great grandson's book and the fact that he has been voted Secularist of the Year?
The Preface brings us immediately to a very sad state of affairs that seems to be illustrated by Jones' own life - namely, the 'crisis in creationism', the phenomenon whereby young people growing up in Christian families and taught to believe the Bible, and Genesis in particular, than move on to college and become disillusioned when they find themselves unable to answer the questions thrown at them by evolutionists. Tragically, many of them then lose their Christian faith, some even becoming militant atheists. This nonsense must stop.
