Evolution as a Religion: Strange Hopes and Stranger Fears

Description

In this controversial study, Mary Midgley takes issue with a number of bizarre scientific doctrines which are often mistakenly viewed as part of Darwin's theory and, in particular, draws attention to the dangers inherent in Lamarck's notion of evolution as an escalator designed to exalt the human race indefinitely to supernatural heights. Today, the belief in such a prospect, coupled with demands that genetic engineering and artificial intelligence be used to further it, causes a strangely unreal attitude to the future of the human race. Mary Midgley points out the irrelevance of such dreams and hopes that scientists will turn their skills rather to pressing ecological matters. She also raises important questions about the nature of both science and religion and their relation to each other.
