Description: Finally a book that approaches science scientifically! I hated biology when I was a kid because it always presupposed evolution into every single facet of biological studies. Then when we learned evolution I learned it was just a theory, and a very sketchy theory at best. As a result, science lost a lot of credibility with me. I hated the subject because it was bias, tainted with sketchy presuppositions, and ruthlessly demanding that we all believe it or else. Ian has done a very fair and balanced study of evolution in this book and using true scientific approaches.I finally learned some science, 33 years later than I was supposed too, but hey maybe we can get an education in America after all!

Review Summary: Outstanding, well done |

Details: Engrossing, amazing historical analyses. Well written, more book than I imagined. An outstanding job of picking out inconsistencies and omissions from evolutionary science. Taylor raises many questions on the scientific data for evolution without being arrogant.
Ian discusses the early philosophical influences and later scientists who paved the way and laid the seed for Darwinian evolution. Is "evolution the cause of the ills of the world, and the secular humanism that so dominates our culture? Is the church bringing in this thought into their doctrines?
He claims Christianity and monotheism actually spur scientific thought. During the dark ages there was a loss of science. We had to rediscover the future. "How can astute scientists be so easily deceived", along with deceiving so many? "Scientists too are subject to the normal human failings." "To think rationally and fairly is a simplistic myth." There is a short biography on Darwin. The voyage on the "Beagle" helped transform him from creationist to evolutionist. There are many problems with evolution, which Taylor makes clear. "This will be defined by who sees the pseudo science for what it is." Is this the murder of God?
Evolution is a theory based on time and chance. The evolution proponents are willing to make discoveries fit this premise. Many are proven false as once truths. Some have still persisted for over a hundred years. Catastrophe can be the only explanation for the fossils. The fossil indexing to geological age is based on circular reasoning, not science. We will see variations in kind (species) but there are limits. The author goes in depth on carbon dating. Some still use radio metric dating. He explains dating is problematic and inconsistent. It is based on a rate of decay that has been constant. We will discover that creation makes more sense.

Review Summary: A feast for inquisitive minds! |

Details: I've had the good fortune of observing the author, Ian T. Taylor, debate the topic of evolution verses creation with a local college professor in my area. I even got to have a discussion with both of the scholars. I share this in the hope that it gives a clue as to the level of consistency with which Taylor wrote this book.
With Ian Taylor's knowledge, he has no lack of logic in his defense of creation I can find. His opponent however had enough of a lack in logic that my "if that's so, then how come...?" questions eventually left him without rational answers and with embarrassment compelling him to excuse his presence. The information in this book provides a more firm stand behind creation and it's harmony helps to reveal how irrational evolution is.
What impresses me the most with this book is how well it demonstrates the impact that influential men in history, with their beliefs, have upon the way society develops. Never underestimate the power of words. "In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the New World Order" assisted to change my husband's erroneous thoughts he once had on creation.

Details: The rhetoric of the evolutionists can sometimes cause one to doubt his faith. Anyone who is experiencing this should read this book, and all doubts will be removed. Be sure to give a copy to your atheist and agnostic friends as well. |

Review Summary: Evolution deconstructed... |

Details: This book is a must for anyone who wants to think seriously about the issue of origins. It comes with numberous illustrations. Taylor covers the historical and scientific issues very well and delves into the social consequences of darwinism. It may seem expensive, but it's well worth it. |
