Should the Theory of Evolution be promoted as the Fact of Evolution? I have written a book (Title: The Fact of Evolution?’) that addresses this question. A free public display of this book is available on the Fact of Evolution Website and the Fact of Evolution Blog.
A menu with Basic Information about the website and blog is available on the right-hand side of the blog screen. Below this menu is a Table of Contents that allows readers to access HTML versions of each chapter of this book.
At the bottom of each post is a form that allows readers to leave comments. If you have comments or questions related to a specific post, please use the comment form for that post. Otherwise, you can use this form for general comments.
I will moderate all comments before I post them. Thus, there will be some irregular delay from the time that you post a comment until the time it is posted on the blog. This delay can be days or even weeks, depending on my schedule. But I will attempt to post comments within a day after I receive them.
If I choose to edit comments, it will not be for the purpose of preventing a hearty debate. But I will remove abusive language before I post a comment. I will also shorten large blocks of copyrighted material and replace them with a shortened version and a reference and/or a hyperlink. But, other than these two exceptions, I plan to post comments without editing.
If you want an individual answer to a question, or wish to make a private comment, you can access the contact form on the Fact of Evolution Website.
I recommend "The Fact of Evolution?" for any open minded person who
ReplyDeletehas an interest in the topic. David Kern argues, successfully In my
opinion, that evolution does not warrant the title of "fact", and that
religiously neutral science is the best approach in arriving at truth.
In making his argument, Kern first defines "fact," and then explores
quotes from leading scientists, including top proponents of evolution.
It becomes clear that a chasm exists between the axiom put forth by
the NAS and the theory of intellectually honest scientists.
After arguing that evolution (as defined) falls short of being a fact
(as defined), David Kern takes the reader through the complexity of
biological life and discusses the challenges posed by explanation
through undirected processes. He uses the work of scientists from
across the spectrum to show that much of what is presented as "fact"
cannot be explained with scientific certainty. Dave's background as a
design engineer (specializing in digital computer hardware) coupled
with his deep knowledge of the subject makes him particularly adept in
the areas involving information theory and the claimed evolution of
the genetic code, as well as the design aspect of our many molecular
machines.
After a fascinating walk through the complexity of life, geological
aspects of the evolution debate are discussed. The major points of
discussion are mostly paleontological and geological, with a chapter
on genetic evidence.
The book, though rich in detail and well referenced, is readable for
most people. Dave shows an ability to present a complex topic in a
way that is comprehensible, while satisfying those who have technical
knowledge in the subject. Not only do I recommend the book, but I
look forward to reading it for a third time...Bill M
