Reader ReviewsThis is an examination by a retired science professor looking at what presuppositions and sources best match up with the scientific evidence and ancient history that we observe. For the author, that is the Genesis World of the Old Testament. He sees evolution as providing no scientific evidence, yet with great bias and shameful attempts at providing such over the years as maintaining their position of only factual, scientific position on origin of life, and all others as false, and unscientific. He aims to show by a widesweeping look at these contradicting positions the falsity in this canard: creation is factless faith, while evolution is faithless fact. By sequencing through such topics as dinosaurs, fossil record, archaeology, dating methods for age of earth, he provides a challenge to evolution's claims that are biased philosophically without firm scientific evidence. Where is the origin of the species clearly stated with factual scientific evidence? Where is one example of speciation? For only one species, and then for all? Von Fange writes: "Charles Darwin stated that if it could be demonstrated that any complex organism such as the eye, existed that could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, his theory would absolutely break down." Many have shown such, but chided repeatedly as just people of faith, not scientists. More name calling and derision without scientific evidence. Yet they continue to holdup such as Haeckel's Embryo Drawing and Peppered Moths and History of Horse as as "factual" scientific proof for their model. This book will aid the reader in seeing the condition of evolution, one that is very tenuous, yet the fraternity strengthens in their outrage and enmity for any who would challenge them as either unintelligent, religious, ancient, or all of the above. Von Fange possibly trys to cover too much ground too fast, many times listing case after case, which became tedious for this reader. Also, his section on astronomy I found the most lacking, having recently read the excellent "The Privileged Planet." An index of topics, individuals cited as well as Scripture would have been nice. Also, some of the referenced scientific evidence documentation is not included, e.g. fossilized live trees near a present airport. Recommend as well Jonathan Wells "Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design" and "Reading God's World: The Scientific Vocation"
