Why Evolution is True

I've just started reading this:

Scientists don't use the word 'true' lightly, but in this lively and engrossing book, Jerry Coyne shows why biologists are happy to use it when it comes to evolution. Evolution is 'true' not because the experts say it is, nor because some world view demands it, but because the evidence overwhelmingly supports it. There are many superb books on evolution, but this one is superb in a new way -- it explains the latest evidence for evolution lucidly, thoroughly, and with devastating effectiveness. -- Steven Pinker


Really enjoying it so far, easy to read with loads of examples, evidence and explainations.

Yes, this is a good book. I circulated this book among the class I was teaching. This included some Christians as well.
