Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this shocking book, Berkeley-educated doctor of biology Jonathan Wells lets you in on scientific discoveries you won't learn about from college and high school textbooks — and reveals a dirty little secret known only to some of his fellow biologists. The best-known "icons" of evolution — from pictures of apes evolving into humans, to comparisons of fish and human embryos, to moths on 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 our children and suppress scientific evidence. In Icons of Evolution Jonathan Wells reveals:
Icons of Evolution is also essential reading for taxpayers who want to know how their hard-earned money is being used to indoctrinate children in a myth. Book News Annotation:The author retraces the reasoning of proponents of evolution from
Darwin to the present to show what he sees as their empirically
false, and frequently faked conclusions. He contends that these
conclusions are presented to the public so many times and in so many
ways that they become irrefutable "icons." The information conveyed
by these icons is never questioned and is in fact promoted with tax
dollars in many contexts. Wells is a postdoctoral biologist (with
Ph.D.s from both Yale and the U. of California at Berkeley) who is
currently affiliated with the Discovery Institute, Seattle,
Washington).
