Abstract
This book, patterned after Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, presents "evolutionary theory and the pseudoscientific nature of 'creation science'" in rhymed iambic pentameter verse. The setting is a company of ten travellers (Astronomer, Biochemist, Biologist, Cosmologist, Geologist, Paleoanthropologist, Paleontologist, Philosopher, Physicist, and Scholar) on a field trip to a creationist seminar in Dayton, Tennessee, home of the Scopes "monkey" trial. After a general prologue, each traveller tells a tale in verse essay of "evidence for evolution and the fallacies of creationist claims." The bibliography has over 350 books and articles dating mostly in the 1980's with some as recent as 1992.
