The Selfless Gene
Charles Foster's book "The Selfless Gene" has a unique approach and title. However, it's ability to reach the scientific layman ends abruptly there. He is a talented writer with words that flow well enough, but not being in his mind left me very incapable of figuring out what he was saying. And that is saying a lot. I can handle difficult texts, yet this one left me with only the vague idea of its premise, that evolution could be possible and coincide with Christianity at the same time. I need a text that explains the circumstances and arguments while giving me the definitions. If you want a book that you can understand, don't purchase this one. If you want one that will give you 1000 explanations that leave more questions than answers, then "The Selfless Gene" is your book!
