Product Description
The best-known “icons” of evolution - from pictures of apes evolving into humans, to comparisons of fish and human embryos, to moths glued to 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 students and suppress scientific evidence. In Icons of Evolution Jonathan Wells reveals:
Icons of Evolution is both an eye-opening tour of discoveries in contemporary biology and a stirring call for professional and educational honesty. It reveals that Darwinian evolution is a theory in crisis that distorts the truth to maintain its influence over science education. And it is a policeman’s whistle, calling upon scientists to clean house and rid their textbooks of lies.

| Short Description | Darwinism is the idea of 'progress' applied to biology, contending that man is a sophisticated animal and denies the involvement of a metaphysical Will in the origins of man. This book looks at some of the central themes or 'icons' of evolutionary theory as they appear in college text books and pulls them apart. |
