Description:
Is
Darwin's theory of evolution really the settled fact experts insist it is?
Johnson, a Berkeley law professor specializing in logic, dissects
Darwinism's scientific support and finds it woefully short on logic and
severely lacking in confirmatory evidence. This rigorous---yet
readable!---book is a great introduction to the controversy over evolution.
195 pages, softcover from InterVarsity.

Brief Description:
Of all the many creationist and evolutionist books I have read, this one is the
ONLY truly objective book I have read so far. It was written by an academic
lawyer whose job is to analyze the logic of arguments and then identify the
assumptions that lie behind those arguments. He does not consider himself an
evolutionist or a creationist, but rather an outsider who accepts both
possibilities but also recognizes that both are based on wide assumptions and a
lot of faith. He has done an excellent job of keeping this book objective and
unbiased. It is a book that can be agreed upon and enjoyed by any true scientist
(evolutionist, creationist or otherwise).
An Amazon.com Reader
In clear, concise chapters, Johnson offers a casual, reasoned and scientifically
sound evaluation of the support for Darwinism--from fossil records to molecular
biology. In a new afterword, he responds to his critics and their arguments.
"Unquestionably the best critique of Darwinism I have ever read."--Michael
Denton, author of Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.
Comments:
Dr. Phillip
Johnson goes through the evidence for Darwinism one issue at a time (fossils,
vertebrates, molecular evidence, etc.). If the reader is not interested in
detailed presentations and the use of logic in making argumentations then this
book would not be appropriate.
