Author opines that concepts of natural/unnatural are based on theology rather than biology. "If we use our limbs and organs for the purpose envisioned by God, then it is a natural activity. To use them differently than God intends is unnatural. But evolution has no purpose. Organs have not evolved with a purpose, and the way they are used is in constant flux." >> Descent with modification through natural selection.

His take on the agricultural revolution is a little strange, but the subsequent chapters that touched on evolution are interesting, e.g. "According to the science of biology, people were not created’. They have evolved. And they certainly did not evolve to be ‘equal’." because "Evolution is based on difference, not on equality."
