New Novel Gently Guides Believers to See a Higher Truth

"Mrs. Darwin's Dilemma" addresses everyone's dilemma: To seek comfort or to seek truth?

Ashland, Ore. (PRWEB) April 8, 2007 -- "Mrs. Darwin's Dilemma," by Mark Collins, emboldens readers to take the road "less traveled" and seek truth, much like "The God Delusion," the bestseller by Richard Dawkins, said Collins.

However, according to Collins, unlike Dawkins' sometimes nettlesome and elitist tone -- which unfortunately burns bridges between theists and atheists -- Collins' bridge-building tone is more egalitarian, sympathetic, and respectful.

The backdrop of a cozy tea welcomes readers of all faiths and non-faiths into a safe, comfortable place where they can easily question their own "wisdom," avoid red herrings, and think complex, emotionally charged, fundamental issues through to completion -- calmly, scientifically, and rationally. By extending the book's science-based reasoning, some believers, like the author, may happily adopt positions that are simultaneously simpler, more scientifically defensible and socially beneficial.

In "Mrs. Darwin's Dilemma," Collins said he presents a frank discussion of a new moral code focused on behaviors, not beliefs, and based on workable, empirically vetted principles, not revelation.

According to the author, "Mrs. Darwin's Dilemma" is a provocative, beautifully written and groundbreaking look at how people might satisfy their relentless demand for truth while achieving greater happiness and a higher moral standard without faith.
