In Red Dynamite, Carl R. Weinberg argues that creationism's tenacious hold on American public life depended on culture-war politics inextricably embedded in religion. Many Christian conservatives were convinced that evolutionary thought promoted immoral and even bestial social, sexual, and political behavior. The "fruits" of subscribing to Darwinism were, in their minds, a dangerous rearrangement of God-given standards and the unsettling of traditional hierarchies of power. Despite claiming to focus exclusively on science and religion, creationists were practicing politics. Their anticommunist campaign, often infused with conspiracy theory, gained power from the fact that the Marxist founders, the early Bolshevik leaders, and their American allies were staunch evolutionists.

Using the Scopes "Monkey" Trial as a starting point, Red Dynamite traces the politically explosive union of Darwinism and communism over the next century. Across those years, social evolution was the primary target of creationists, and their "ideas have consequences" strategy instilled fear that shaped the contours of America's culture wars. By taking the anticommunist arguments of creationists seriously, Weinberg reveals a neglected dimension of antievolutionism and illuminates a source of the creationist movement's continuing strength.

在《红ynamite》中,卡尔·R·韦恩伯格认为,创造主义在美国公共生活中牢固的存在与其深深嵌入宗教的文化战争政治密不可分。许多基督教保守派坚信进化思想会促进不道德甚至野蛮的社会、性以及政治行为。他们眼中的达尔文主义带来的“果实”是对上帝赋予标准的危险重新安排以及传统权力等级秩序的不安定化。尽管声称只关注科学和宗教,创造主义者实际上是在进行政治活动。他们的反共产主义运动常常带有阴谋论色彩的力量来源于马克思主义创始人、早期布尔什维克领导人及其美国盟友都是坚定的进化论者。 以斯科普斯“猴子”审判案为起点,《红ynamite》追溯了接下来的一百年中达尔文主义与共产主义之间引发政治爆炸性的联系。在这几十年里,社会进化的目标一直是创造主义者的目标,并且他们通过“想法有后果”的策略制造恐惧来塑造美国文化战争的轮廓。韦恩伯格严肃对待创造主义者反共产主义思想的做法揭示了一个被忽视的反对进化论维度,并阐明了创造主义运动持续力量的一个来源。 由于印第安纳大学慷慨资助以及其参与TOME(Towards an Open Monograph Ecosystem),这本书的电子书版作为开放获取版本可以在科尔尼开放(Cornell Press, cornell.edu/cornell-open)和其他存储库中找到。
