For thirty years Greg Graffin has fronted the punk rock band Bad Religion, which revolutionized the genre and paved the way for the likes of Green Day with its intricate harmonies and thought-provoking lyrics. But in his spare time, Graffin—who received a doctorate from Cornell and a lifetime achievement award from the Harvard Secular Society—teaches evolutionary biology at UCLA and scrutinizes the mysteries of the fossil record. (Not exactly Sid Vicious, this guy.) His band's fifteenth album,
The Dissent of Man, and his first book, Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World Without God, were both released on September 28.
