Abstract
Many evolutionists, including most Christians who accept evolution as part of God's created order, would agree with Stephen Jay Gould: AScience can no more answer the questions of how we ought to live than religion can decree the age of the earth." James Rachels disagrees. He insists that, if Darwinism has obliterated the biological distinctions between humans and the other animals, then it must also have obliterated spiritual and moral distinctions. If humans are not biologically special, than neither can we be morally special, he insists. His book argues cogently for this viewpoint, and is so brilliantly written that it is even fun to read. Those of us who disagree with him will have our own minds sharpened by it.
