Evolution as a Religion

Michael Ruse
From the prologue in his book The Evolution – Creation Struggle

"In particular, I argue that in both evolution and creation we have rival religious responses to a crisis of faith – rival stories of origins, rival judgments about the meaning of human life, rival sets of moral dictates, and above all what theologians call rival eschatologies – pictures of the future and of what lies ahead for humankind."
