7. What Wells called his “faith journey” even brought him to the Unification Church, partly because he shared its strong anticommunist stance. For critiques of this group, whose theology I thoroughly disagree with, see: Ruth A. Tucker, Another Gospel (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Zondervan 1989), 245–66.

10. While Wells’s definition of neo-Darwinism is valid, I generally have used the term “Darwinism” in this book to encompass the concept of neo-Darwinism.

23. The biological classifications in ascending order are: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom. For example, for human beings, the classifications would be: species (sapiens); genus (homo); family (hominids); order (primates); class (mammals); phylum (chordates); and kingdom (animals).
