Book Reviews of Smithsonian Handbooks: Rocks & Minerals (Smithsonian Handbooks)
Book Review: Subtle Darwinism and Uniformatarianism Propaganda
Summary: 1 Stars
This book contains a little bit of propaganda in support of Darwinism/macro-evolution and the Big Bomb. There are five claims, all without evidence, without even a single reference that Earth is millions of years old. This is typical propaganda and speaks loudly being that there is not even one reference to back up these absurd narcissistic claims.
