Annotation: How many people believe in God? How often do Australians go to church? How many people think that species emerge from the process of natural selection by survival of the fittest? This volume examines a range of moral issues and worldviews, focussing on two of fundamental importance at the dawn of the 21st century: Christian belief and the scientific worldview. This is a great starting point for discussions on todays hottest ethical issues. The book presents a dispassionate, balanced presentation of excellent public opinion data from Australia. Topics range from homosexuality to abortion to genetic modification to foreign aid to national identity. This book describes these community bioethics and examines the worldviews and moral reasoning processes that Australians use to arrive at their ethical judgments. Accessible graphical presentations of results are underpinned by state of the art statistical analyses. International, comparative data are also presented on many issues.
