Details: "Bones of Contention" is the most comprehensive and concise work available dealing with the erroneous theory of human evolution. I was amazed about how false and inconsistent the story of human evolution really is. Lubenow easily disintegrates the theory of human evolution and brings to light what evolutionary paleoanthropologists would rather you didn't know. There is so much misconception, misinformation and deceit that it makes you wonder why more people don't know about it.
It is clearly shown that there IS NO chronological or morphological sequence in the fossil record at all. You quickly realise that evolutionists only show you the fossils that make a sequence. They ignore all the other fossils that totally destroy any possible sequence.
Lubenow deals with every relevant fossil, from `lucy' to the Neanderthals, and he also deals with many concepts relevant to this subject like genome comparisons and the laetoli footprints.
This is a must have book for anyone interested in a critical look at human evolution.

Details: Think the fossil "record" proves evolution? You won't after you've read this extraordinary book. If you want to cling to popular views of our origins, you won't like it at all. But if it's truth you're after, don't miss it. |

Details: This is a masterpiece that unveils the gross bias of evolutionary propagandists claiming to be practicing science. The fairy tale of evoultion is revealed for what it is...mere belief in the unknown just as Creation is the belief in the unknown. The only explanation for either entails a presuppositional belief in the unknown. |

Review Summary: Could have been much better |

Details: I gave it four stars only because there really is some interesting and useful information here.
It could have been so much better, though, if the author had organized it differently, and left out his distracting, annoying, and very arguable biblical interpretations.
It's obvious the author knows a lot about human fossils. If only he could see his way clear to sharing what he knows in a straitforward way without all the sermonizing and biblical literalism coloring everything, this could have been a very useful book.
The religious dogmatism was worse than distracting, it seriously detracted from my learning about human fossils as I found myself mentally arguing with the author over his biblical pronouncements instead of considering his possibly valid points about the fossils.
He appears to be a biblical literalist, with a very shallow, rigid, and very un-exegetical understanding of biblical scripture.
The most annoying are his repetitive pronouncements about racism. He is correct that racism is inherent in Darwinian philosophy, but if he really thinks the Bible contains no racism he's either willfully blind to it or inexcusably ignorant. Just a few examples;
Matt 15:22-26 Jesus tells a Canaanite woman He's only sent to house of Israel, calls her a dog.
Matt 10:5-6 Jesus tells Apostles not to preach to Samaritans or Gentiles.
Joshua 9:23,27 Joshua makes Gibeonites slaves to Israelites
Josh 23: 12-13 Israel commanded not to intermarry with other races.
Nehemiah 13:1 Ammonites and Moabites permanently excluded from congregations
Josh 18:7 Levites not allowed any land, given priesthood instead. No other tribe allowed to be ordained to priesthood.
A book about fossils should be about fossils, not about one's perspective on the bible. If you want to preach your version of Christianity, write another book. I wanted to learn about fossils, and I did, some, but I feel like a little kid tricked into eating something icky by being tempted with candy. And it wasn't even good for me.
At least the title is accurate; I can't say I wasn't warned about the Creationist perspective.
I do feel I learned quite a bit about "human" fossils from this book, but the annoyance over the religious tone almost made it not worth it. I'm going to have to go through it again, trying harder to ignore the preaching, to see what I learned. It's like wading through sludge feeling around for gems.
If the author would find a fossil expert from "the other side" with whom he could collaborate, he would do us all a huge favor by rewriting, or writing another, book just presenting the fossils.
As it is, it's useful, but could have been so much better.
