Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World Without God

Frompunk rock bandBad Religion’s Greg Graffin and Steve Olson, Anarchy Evolution is a provocative look at the collision between religion and science.“Take one man who rejects authority and religion, and leads a punk band. Take another man who wonders whether vertebrates arose in rivers or in the ocean. . . . Put them together, what do you get?
