Icons of Evolution

Science or Myth? Why Much of What We Teach About Evolution Is Wrong

De: Jonathan Wells

Narrado por: Barry Campbell

Everything you were taught about evolution is wrong. In this shocking book, Berkeley-educated doctor of biology Jonathan Wells lets you in on scientific discoveries you won't learn about from college and high-school textbooks - and reveals a dirty little secret known only to some of his fellow biologists.

The best-known "icons" of evolution - from pictures of apes evolving into humans, to comparisons of fish and human embryos, to moths on tree trunks - are false or misleading. For decades, biology students have been taught things about evolution that are simply untrue.

These icons of evolution appear even in the most recent textbooks, although the scientific literature is full of evidence that they are false. Apparently, dogmatic promoters of Darwinian evolution fear that without these icons, public faith in their claims will disappear, so they knowingly misinform our children and suppress scientific evidence.

lies of biased evolutionary scientists and politicians

The MYTHICAL story of the peppered moths fooled me in the fourth grade...but never again. It wasn't until someone suggested to me that the darling of evolution... the peppered moths... was actually a fraud, that I finally began to think and research it for myself. i was astounded at the Fraud of both kettlewell and his associates. Instead of accepting evolution by faith in biased scientist's dogma, I began a journey that exposed the fraud of the mythology of evolution. The scientific method has ZERO to do with God and exposed the fraudulent biased scientists with an emotional neediness for a Godless universe. Ironically, they had allowed the issue of God to emotionally bias their research. So sad. I also discovered the "atta-boy" method of peer review where colleagues pat each other on the back while claiming criticism over non-essential points. unfortunately, it's now simply a big money-making scam. Do unbiased research and ypu NEVER arrive at evolution.

everyone should know all that! must read book!

everyone should know all that! must read book! great job D.Wells gathering all those facts!

Need to know information

Was very easy to listen to and informative. If you're just joining into the origins debate this stuff should be mandatory knowledge.

A must read

Whether you agree with the conclusions of this book or not, it presents arguments and evidence that you can’t ignore. It is a great example of why you shouldn’t believe something based on consensus.

The voicing was decent, and while I’ve heard better for this type of book, I’ve also heard far far worse.

The Desperate Attempts...

by many to vote down positive reviews of books like this tells the tale: Darwin and his theory are on the way out, disproved by modern biology, but Dawkins and his band of followers are going down only in an ideological shoot out, the truth notwithstanding. Read this along with the works of Michael Behe and Philip Johnson's Darwin On Trial.
