Jonathan Wells (1) (1942–2024)

I’ve always been a bit skeptical of evolution. Call it a religious upbringing and continued belief in what the book of Genesis tells us or just a healthy questioning of science, but evolution has always seemed a bit inconsistent with me. I also tend to question things when I’m told not to question it like strict evolutionists will tell you (as well as Al Gore and his global warming crowd). That makes me question it even more.

This book, while not proof of the falsehood of evolution, does show more take what the evolutionists take as truth and show us how it is misleading and at times flat out false in the light of new evidence, but unfortunately these untruths are still being taught in our schools to our children in the name of science, but what has really become the “religion” of evolution.

Anyway, sorry I went up on my soapbox for a moment. This book can be a dry read if you’re not interested in the subject matter and even if you are, it can be a dry read. Took me some time to work through this one, but there is really some good and interesting information here. Will this change your mind about evolution one way or the other? Not likely, but if you come into this one with an open mind, which seems to be lacking at times on both sides of this debate, you may come away with a new appreciation of the issue. show less

What I liked best about this book is that it provides a different, scientific, look at evolution. Too often the public is steam-rolled into believing there is only one viewpoint with no room for debate. Certainly there is so much room in science for continuing discovery.

A simple compilation of information on the problems inherent in certain examples and experiments used to claim human origin by evolution, followed by some discussion on who promulgates those flawed stories and why. Highly recommended.

Fascinating! Yet somehow I'm left with more questions than answers.
