“An essential primer on the greatest political document” — Joel Berry
The growing battle over America’s founding principles. |
The Plot to Kill the Declaration of IndependenceLearn the untold story in Endowed by Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America’s Soul by John G. West. “Important and wide-ranging… couldn’t be timelier.” —David Limbaugh, New York Times bestselling author “An essential primer on the greatest political document in human history—and the Darwinist worldview that tried to kill it.” —Joel Berry, Managing Editor, The Babylon Bee |
The Declaration of Independence proclaims that “all men are created equal” and “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” For generations, those hallowed words inspired not only Americans, but millions around the globe. Yet today many Americans are skeptical or confused about the Declaration’s key claims. In the new book Endowed by Our Creator, Discovery Institute Vice President John G. West explores the original meaning of the Declaration and shows how its propositions drew support from both the Bible and early modern science. He then documents how Darwinian biology was later used to overturn the Declaration’s teaching on equality, subvert its understanding of liberty and God-given rights, and justify the creation of a technocratic state that regulates us from cradle to grave. Finally, he reveals new scientific discoveries that are pointing us back to the truths expressed in the Declaration—and he explains why it is urgent that our culture recover them.
