Publisher Description

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.

"Icons of Evolution is very well written book. It addresses in a thorough, yet succinct, manner some of the most taught examples for evolution. It provides good background for each "Iconic" example, then gives a reasoned perspective for how each fails to pass scientific validity."

    " Oh my. As far as I'm concerned, the "science" of evolution is nonexistent. Anyone claiming otherwise had better have a dang good answer to this book. "

    " Great evidence in attack of Evolution, but that is about as far as it goes. "

    " Interesting book and easy to read. Not a take down of evolution, but does make you think about the arguments they make and the things they say that just aren't so. The concept can apply to more than just the evolution discussion. "

    — Ray, 10/6/2012
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Since evolution is a theory, why are we not allowed to question it and debate it? Why is it taught as the gospel truth? Why is Darwin's theory the only theory allowed to be taught in school? Interesting reading if one wishes to look at the information being taught. "

    — Laurie, 9/15/2012
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Excellent and well-reasoned arguments against such evolutionist articles of faith as the Miller-Urey experiment; tree of life; homology in vertebrate limbs; Haeckel's embryos; archaeopteryx; peppered moths; Galapagos finches, etc. "
