The Gilligan Principle offers a critical analysis of the Darwinian view of life as a product of random accident, discussing a number of discoveries which highlight significant technical problems confronting this Darwinian view.While detailing this evidence, the author gradually draws a contrast between Darwin's description, and the more traditional view of life as a miraculous thing of wonder, describing a cultural shift that has slowly eroded away many of the essential long-term ideals that are so vital to a well-adjusted society asa result, trending towards social dysfunction epitomized by the ideal of "survival of the fittest" and evidenced by many recent high-profile events - all following the pattern of "rise and fall" in human civilization.Blending scientific research with social commentary, this book seeks to illustrate contradictions and oversights in the Darwinian view, while emphasizing the essential role social values play in the well-being of any society.
