    Rumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are in the publisher’ s pipelines. A few have already appeared. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a【W1】________and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution  of universe and life. Cosmology, geology, and biology have【W2】________a consistent, unified, and constantly  improving account of what happened. "Scientific" creationism, which is being pushed by some for "equal time" in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, is【W3】________on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority of non-fundamentalist religious  leaders have come to【W4】________"scientific" creationism as bad science and bad religion.
    The first four chapters of Kitcher’ s book give a very brief【W5】________to evolution. At appropriate
places, he【W6】________the criticisms of the creationists and provides answers. In the last three chapters, he lake off his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating. He describes their programmes and tactics,  and, for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists, the extent of their【W7】________and distortion may come as an unpleasant surprise. When their basic motivation is religious, one might have【W8】________more Christian behavior.
    Kitcher is philosopher, and this may account, in part, for the clarity and effectiveness of his arguments.  The non-specialist will be able to【W9】________at least a notion of the sorts of data and argument that support evolutionary theory. The final chapter on the creationists will be extremely clear to all. On the dust jacket of this fine book, Stephen Jay Gould says; "This book【W10】________for reason itself. " And so it does—and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.
