Human Origins and the Decline of Theism
Dupre argues that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is in a natural world-view that helped erode religious belief against the claims of science. Philosophical issues are avoided to give natural views on how evolution came into place, some issues can be argued to exist such as ghosts. Darwinism and Christianity show if there was a being capable of creating life then his intervention could be the best explanation because it's hard to explain the origin of life as a chemical process. -
Darwin's legacy: What Evolution Means Today
This is Dupre's most famous publication, because it gives us an in-depth look into what darwin was getting at, and shows how evolution is for everyone and doesn't matter what religion you have or what you believe. This book explains evolution more as a general proposition and not as much of a theory in science. -
What is the theory of evolution?
Dupre's book explains the Theory of Evolution as a general proposition instead of a theory. This is because in his book he explains the simple fact that life on earth evolved and there is scientific proof. Because of this implication, he really helps change the look on evolution as a fact instead of a theory. -
What is the Theory of Evolution Good For
Dupre argues that evolution only sees the organism and not the trait, so the division of organisms into features and traits is not given much study. There is an ongoing project within revolutionary studies that aims to translate the actual sequence of living forms and this research coordinates theory and evidence in a manner that supports evidence and respects scientific claims on evolution. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution involves scientific interpretation and its consequences. -
