Foreword: William Dembski, PhD. Darwinism is a 150a'yeara'old icon that has been propped up byunproven suppositions. The scientific discoveries of the last few decades are now kicking out the props. Dr. Kenneth Poppe is convinced theicon is ready to topple. Providing extensive scientific evidence of Darwinisma'sfailures, this career biology instructor uses enlightening analogies and examplesto explain the theorya's problems: blinda'luck assembly of the first cell mathematical improbabilities the laws of thermodynamics hypothetical sudden mutations biased minda'sets Spiced with humor and helpful graphics, this popularly targeted text shows readersthata'in regard to objections to evolutiona'the science is truly there. A superior resource for students, parents, and privatea? or publica'school educators. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

His referencing is abysmal. He often quotes ID folks who are themselves perfect examples of twisting and ignoring bits of science until you have what you want. My favorite though is when he makes broad statements, like microbiologists and molecular biologists don't believe in "Darwinism" anymore because of reasons. Who are these people? How vast are their numbers? I've certainly never met any of them at all, much less in the large numbers he alludes to. And no, they're not hiding because people are mean. Scientists argue basic scientific ideas all the time, including evolution, and if you have a good idea to share they gobble it up, chew it over and try it out. There's still plenty of room for such discussion in science and evolution.
What I think I can boil it down to, is that anyone who can honestly refer to evolutionists as "Darwinists" is being purposefully maladroit. Evolution is so far beyond those first ideas of Darwin, it's humorous. Yes, we still talk about Darwin, but we've got better, bigger ideas now. It's like calling all Christians followers of John. Things have, dare I say it, evolved from the times of John the Baptist preaching to the masses.
For the record, I'm not a Christian, but I also suspect some great power driving evolution and life on Earth. How aware it is, we may never know. I picked this book up thinking it would be an interesting discussion about holes in our understanding of evolution (yes, they exist), but despite my love of science, willingness to be wowed, and interest in the topic, I found the author not only unpersuasive, but simply bad at legitimate research, and a boring writer. I suspect, from the way he writes, that he is a better speaker, but the fact that he teaches this level of science ignorance to students is troublesome. ( )
