From A Few Quotes
EvoCrusher - Package the what you feel is the best argument in the book and present it - I would be very interested is this and would like to see the substance of the arguments.
Based on the minimal reviews and comments I can find such as "A must read for all home-schoolers" I will not be soon parting with my money to buy a nonsense propaganda book.
However I looked around and found a few quotes....
TSutcliff writes:
“Every time I’d hear a discussion about evolution, it quickly broke down into this ”science-versus-religion’ stalemate and that was the end of it,” ... “Discussions about chemistry and physics don’t fall into the same trap, so why should evolution?”
Let me venture a guess.... maybe because the Fundamentalist view Evolution and a huge threat to their bronze age beliefs?
From an editorial review....
Editoral Review writes:
Heavily researched ... the eight-chapter book ... which reveals how genetics disproves evolution and how evolution is mathematically impossible.
From this, I have one question, does he rehash the 747 from a junkyard argument?
Some other quotes:
TSutcliff writes:
“In Europe, the idea that some humans were closer to ape-like hominids was accepted and normalized over several decades,”
So.
Some Christian denominations believed as a result of Cain's rebellion, he was was cursed with a dark skin and became the father of the Negroes.
Jefferson Davis argued that "slavery was established by decree of Almighty God. It is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation".
In reality evolution delivers undeniable proof that all human races are members of the same species.
TSutcliff writes:
“While evolution did not commit the evil acts at the Nazi concentration camps, the normalization of evolution over generations made it easier for the executioners to do it.”
So if we are to dismiss Evolution because of his alleged and specious enabling factor of the Holocaust, does this mean we can also reject Christianity based on the Crusades and Inqusition? Of which Christianity played a very overt role and not an indirect one.

What stalemate.
EvoCrusher writes:
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.
It is disappointing that you feel science and religion are really in some sort of stalemate.
Evolution being science, will always stand or fall in concordance to the data and its explanatory and predictive power; not because if provides a more satisfying explanation than the Genesis Creation myth.
