| 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 comparisons of fish and
human embryos, to moths on tree trunks, to pictures of apes evolving
into humans - 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:
*How the textbook version of the origin of life assumes the exact
opposite of what scientists now believe was the environment on the early
Earth
*How scientists have long known that drawings supposedly showing
similarities between fish and human embryos were faked, yet continue to
use them as evidence for evolution
*How Darwin's theory of natural selection is illustrated with staged
photographs showing moths on tree trunks where they don't actually rest
*How the alleged role of mutations in evolution is illustrated with
artificially-engineered fruit flies that show the opposite of what
evolutionary theory requires
*How horse evolution and pictures of apes evolving into humans are
used to promote a materialistic philosophy that has no legitimate place
in science classrooms
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.
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.
Jonathan Wells is a post-doctoral biologist and senior fellow at the
Discovery Institute, and holds Ph.D.s from both Yale University and the
University of California at Berkeley. He is a member of several
scientific associations and has published widely in academic journals.
He lives with his family near Seattle, Washington.
