In his new book Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply, Wilkinson (who also currently serves as a Church of Latter Day Saints bishop) recounts his medical school experience and argues that evolutionary theory is, in fact, theologically reaffirming: Natural selection, he asserts, is purposeful and guided, and provides both evidence for a creator and a moral system for humanity. Despite an admirable surfeit of earnestness in Wilkinson's arguments, I did not find persuasive his claim that he would "reconcile scientific inquiry with a belief in a Divine Creator who is somehow responsible for the order we see around us." As Ecclesiastes intones, "There is nothing new under the sun." That aphorism would serve well as an epigraph to Purpose.
