Review by Waldo Malan
What do a professor of philosophy and cognitive science, and a bio-physicist/molecular biologist have in common? Well, for one thing, the fact that Darwin’s evolutionary theories have some major flaws. I found the fact that this study was conducted from a philosophical-scientific, as opposed to a Christian, point of view very interesting, especially since both authors are committed atheists! It seems to me a little like the ‘rocks crying out’ in a society where major role-players have for too long been silent.
The book is not about evolution vs. creationism, but in the conclusions that are reached critical flaws of evolution are apparent. Starting with an examination of the Theory of Natural Selection, the authors progress in detail through biological arguments that have arisen in light of contemporary research, through to a more philosophical conceptualization of nature. It is impossible to read this book in one sitting – there is simply too much detail. Personally I had to refer to dictionaries quite often, and I Googled quite a bit to stay with the writers! My obvious ignorance aside, this book is well worth the read, especially for those who are interested in refuting the evolutionary theories that have become mainstream science, despite the lack of apparent evidence required to verify these same theories. This work may well end up on recommended reading lists of leading universities and colleges.
