The Selfless Gene- a review

The Selfless Gene: Living with God and DarwinThe Selfless Gene: Living with God and Darwin by Charles Foster

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


A very boring read. The author is clearly convinced by the Darwinians, and spends most of the time in the book writing pro-Darwinism arguments. Although there are parts where he points out flaws in the theory, it is just not balanced enough.



Apart from that, the treatment is not rigorous enough. And there are chapters devoted to find metaphors in the Bible. Basically, he is trying to tread a fine line between ID, creationism and Darwinism. But, he fails o do so miserably.



I am rating it two star only because of a chapter where the anti-Darwinist arguments are laid out succintly.



My advice- Don't read it.

I am currently reading this amazing classic by Joseph Heller. It is hilarious and satirical as hell. Will give a detailed review once I finish it.
