Product Description
Why is Darwin’s theory of evolution taught as fact? Based on current advances in genetics,
astrophysics, microbiology, and other sciences, it should have been discarded years ago! In straightforward, easy–to–understand language, Ralph Muncaster investigates evolution and natural selection by examining—
- Darwin’s reservations regarding his theory
- the “evolution” gaps in the fossil record
- theories that counter evolution
- the scientific evidence of intelligent design
- why many scientists now believe in creationism
Dismantling Evolution helps people understand the facts that refute evolution between species and the scientific evidence that supports creationism—and the divine creator.
Reader Reviews~Dismantling Evolution (Examine the Evidence)~ is authored by a former skeptic and evolutionist. This is not the most in-depth book on the subject of the creation vs. evolution debate, but it documents the evidences for special creation and the flaws in evolutionary theory quite well. The author makes a compelling case for intelligent design in the universe and life itself. One chapter entitled Hard Evidence versus Soft Evidence gives a background on epistemological methodology in proving intelligent design. The fossil record and geological evidence that supposedly gives credence to macroevolution is analyzed with remarkable clarity. Muncaster also expounds upon the theory of irreducible complexity, which Michael Behe deals with thoroughly in Darwin's Black Box. The existence of DNA, the building blocks that program organic life, gives ample evidence for intelligent design, particularly when one begins to grasp its' utter complexity. In challenging the evolutionist's worldview, Muncaster goes beyond the life sciences in order to to point out the laws of physics, which fundamentally undermine evolutionary theory. The laws of thermodynamics cast serious doubts on the claims of evolutionists. Evolutionists posit that the life is advancing to higher order, which is contradicted by the fact that observation has never revealed new information being added to DNA and that everything in the universe is in a state of entropy or decay. Nonetheless, while this book covers many bases, a skeptic or creation apologist may want to explore a book that probes one facet of creationism at a time (i.e. the irreducible complexity theory or the information theory.) This is not the definitive book on the subject, though it certainly is an informative reference. For the scientific laymen this book maybe preferable to Michael Behe's book.
