| Summary: | This volume examines the concept of genetic determinism, finding it unsupportable by science yet prevalent in our culture in the form of the gene myth. Despite DNA determinism, we as persons are still free. We are also morally responsible. That responsibility includes building a better future through genetic science, a form of human creativity expressive of the image of God imparted by the divine to the human race. |
