Why Evolution is a Fraud by Tom Sutcliff is a must read for anyone who wants an well-written, non-technical and heavily-researched book on why evolution is a fraud. http://www.evofraud.com is the book's website. I recently finished it and I highly recommend it. I've read most of the books that Sutcliff cites as sources and this is one of the best that I've seen.
The book is also available at Amazon, Barnes and noble and Borders, but the website for the book has the lowest price.

There are a lot of strong points, so it is hard to narrow it down to just one.
Sutcliff cites a recent BBC article where students at a UK university tried to put the famous typing monkey theory into practice. Needless to say, the monkeys did not type anything that even remotely resembled Shakespear as Hardison predicted. They did not even type a legible word in English. However, the monkeys did succeed in using the computers as toilets.
The chapter titled Agendascience really nails the 'why' behind why so many folks buy evolution, even though evolution is scientifically deficient and based more on philosophy than science.
The best point is the whole focus of the book; the author makes the unique point of breaking the tired old 'science versus religion' stalemate by forcing evolution to stand (or fall) on its own. Aside from a belief in God, Sutcliff does not mention religion at all. His arguments are soundly based on the weight of the evidence, not the consensus of the masses. I thought this was a refreshing approach.

The book is not about creationism or even a replacement for evolution. That's what makes the book so interesting. Sutcliff, in fact, says that evolution should not be banned. I checked the talk origins site link and it focused heavily on the Bible and creationist stuff, which is not where Sutcliff is coming from.

I don't know about the google search, but the website was provided in the earlier e-mail. No (LOL!) I did not write the book; I read a lot and was impressed by this approach.

Do you approach everything with such prejudices?

Are you familiar with the history of evolution after the publication of Origin of The Species? Most people are not.
