This book is aimed at students and teachers, and was written as a refutation of The National Academy of Sciences' recently published educator's guidebook entitled "Teaching about Evolution and the Nature of Science."The old debate between evolution and design continues to this day, and the strength of the argument against evolution is increasing. Dr. Sarfati demonstrates how creationism is both rational, arguable and scientific. He also brings to light the general (or wilful) ignorance among pro-evolutionists of the modern design argument. In this book, Sarfati covers a wide range of topics, including: 1. Variation and Natural Selection, demonstrating that organisms can "change" over time without "evolving" (in the sense of information increase.) He clearly establishes the difference (which remains obscured in most pro-evolution literature) between changes which arise through the re-shuffling and loss of genetic information, and the evolutionists unproven claim that information can spontaneously increase - the myth which drives the modern amoeba-to-man evolution ideology. 2. Missing Links - Sarfati awakens the reader to the sheer lack of evidence for evolution in the fossil record, and explodes the various arguments which propose certain fossils as transitional forms. 3. Bird Evolution - Considers examples put forward such as Archaeopteryx, feathered dinosaurs and the impossibility of dinosaur-to-bird evolution, reptile-to-bird evolution etc. 4. Whale Evolution 5. Human Evolution 6. Astronomy - namely the Big Bang 7. The Age of the Earth - Sarfati points out how at least 90% of dating methods give nowhere near the millions of years evolution demands, and how the radiometric dating methods which do give these figures are both inconsistent and unreliable. And there's more besides. Dr. Sarfati has no qualms in debunking the fallacious atheistic propaganda of modern evolutionists such as Professor Dawkins (particularly in his refutation of the absurd claim by Dawkins that "feathers are modified reptilian scales"), making this an exciting and inspiring read for student and teacher. Written in 1999, this is very recent piece of work, and well worth reading. Regardless of your position on the subject of origins, you ought to be aware of the problems with evolution, and "Refuting Evolution" by main-stream creationist Dr. Sarfati is an excellent place to start. I would encourage teachers (if they dare) to purchase copies for classrooms and school libraries. W.Simpson
