It strikes me as sad that anyone has to set themselves a task like this:
This book is all about presenting Evolution in a Christian friendly manner.
No one has to present the theory of plate tectonics in a Hindu-friendly manner or the theory of the expanding universe in a Buddhist-friendly manner. The faith of so many professing Christians, though, seems to be made of more fragile stuff.
If Dr Roughgarden can speak to the fragile people in a way that helps them past their fear, more power to her. Darwin's theory has proven itself for 150 years. It's past time the shock was absorbed so society can move on.
