Summary of Will Storr's The Unpersuadables

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The town of Devil was hosting a talk by John Mackay, an Australian who had traveled far to give the audience his book The Bible, which was filled with visions, violence, and lore. The audience was asked to choose between Darwin and God.

#2 The town of Gympie, Australia, is named after a local tree called the gympie-gympie. It is a place of early closing and close community. The locals know the town as Gympie, an Aboriginal word meaning Devil.

#3 John Mackay, a Christian evangelist, has come to north Australia to give a talk on the obsession that has run through his life like a burning wick: evolution and all the reasons it is wrong. To accept evolution is to call the entire Bible a lie.

#4 The Gympie Christian church is a small, local congregation that believes in creationism. When I attended their meeting, I was presented with a six-thousand-year-old news report about the world being perfect and without pain or struggle until Eve ate the apple with Adam.
