Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A fascinating account of a diverse group of individuals who, despite the very real dangers of challenging a system in which everything was presumed to have been created perfectly by God, felt compelled to understand where people came from. Ultimately, Stott demonstrates, ideas, including evolution itself, evolve just as animals and plants do, by intermingling, toppling weaker notions, and developing over stretches of time.

"An unabridged production."

Compact discs.
