Only a Theory? Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul

Winner of the 2011 Stephen Jay Gould Prize and a repeat guest on The Colbert Report, biology professor Kenneth R. Miller, is a passionate defender of evolution and the scientific method. He has served as a key witness in several high-profile evolution-creationist court cases, including the 2005 Dover "Intelligent Design" case, which ultimately forestalled further attempts to mandate the teaching of intelligent design in high school science curricula. Miller is well known for his widely used high-school textbook Biology, coauthored with Joseph Levine. He has also written about the relationship between science and religion in Finding Darwin's God. His most recent book is Only a Theory - Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul. Miller received his PhD in biology from the University of Colorado and taught at Harvard University before joining the faculty at Brown University. Part of the National Affairs Series.
