The Evolution of Everything
by Matt Ridley
Overview
Whether you're religious or not, chances are, you have at one point struggled with making sense of how the human species as we know it today came into being. Religious people usually point to God, Jehovah, or Allah - in the case of ancient Greece, even to several gods, like Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Agnostics and atheists prefer Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution.
However, author Matt Ridley stopped asking 'Who's right?' Instead, he accepted both approaches as different doctrines, which shape how we view many different aspects of our daily lives.
