While the battle between religion and science is often displayed in the starkest of terms, Anarchy Evolution provides fresh and nuanced insights into the long-standing debate about atheism and the human condition. As an adolescent growing up when “drugs, sex, and trouble could be had on any given night,” Graffin discovered that the study of evolution provided a framework through which he could make sense of the world. He describes his own coming-of-age as an artist and the formation of his naturalist worldview over the past three decades. In this passionate polemic, Greg Graffin argues that art and science have a deep connection. Bad Religion die-hards, newer fans won over during the band’s 30th Anniversary Tour, and anyone interested in this increasingly important debate should check out this t reatise on science from the god of punk rock. Alongside science writer Steve Olson (whose Mapping Human Historywas a National Book Award finalist) Graffin delivers a powerful discussion sure to strike a chord with readers of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion or Christopher Hitchens God Is Not Great. Anarchy Evolution is a provocative look at the collision between religion and science, by an author with unique authority: UCLA lecturer in Paleontology, and founding member of Bad Religion, Greg Graffin. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We trace the effectively biographical Bill through his introduction and addiction to junk, a seemingly broad term that encompasses opioids from heroin to morphine to benzedrine. ![]() I picked this up because I figured Burroughs is enough of a figure to deserve at least reading once, and appropriately enough I finished Junky on my first visit to Mexico City, where this book also ends, and where the real live Burroughs famously shot and killed his common law wife.Īs for the work itself, it's a fascinating enough snapshot of drug culture in the 1950s, but it is equally effective as a expose of seedy criminal underculture, and of beat/cool culture at its infancy.
