Genes, genesis, and God

values and their origins in natural and human history

Can the phenomena of religion and ethics be reduced to the phenomena of biology? Holmes Rolston says no, and in this sweeping account of the subject written with considerable verve and clarity he challenges the sociobiological orthodoxy that would naturalize science, ethics, and religion. This book argues the genetic processes are not blind, selfish, and contingent, and that nature is not value-free.
