Reconciling Creationism & Evolution?

This is what Robert Wright, author of The Evolution of God, attempts to do in an editorial in The New York Times.

His proposals for a middle ground, albeit sensible, are too cloy and reconciliatory. I continue to believe that evolution and creationism are mutually exclusive and that middle ground between the two of them is no ground at all. These attempts to give credence and authority to an unscientific theory like creationism cause the greatest harm to our nation's educational system, the trenches and the front line of this war that is still being waged, eighty-four years after the Scopes Trial.

Clarifying the Koran

Robert Wright shares an excerpt from his book, The Evolution of God, in which he clarifies for the reader that the often-quoted 'kill the infidels' phrase from the Koran is not to be interpreted quite so literally.

This is for all those who think Islam is a more violent and unforgiving religion than Judaism or Christianity.
