Darwin a fundamentalizmus: Mali by sme vedu o stvorení odmietnuť ako bezvýznamný mýtus? Zmenila sa sama evolúcia na novú "fundamentalistickú" teológiu, užitočný trik ako dozerať na ortodoxnosť vo vede? Vyrovnáva sa náboženská bigotnosť vedeckej bigotnosti, zlé náboženstvo zlej vede? Kniha Darwin a fundamentalizmus tvrdí, že za zjednodušujúcimi nadpismi sa skrývajú dôležité otázky. Čomu je rozumné veriť a čo predstavuje rozvážnu aplikáciu vedeckej metódy, to sú zložité problémy dôležité pre to, ako robíme výskum a ako vyhodnocujeme myšlienky evolúcie.
