Book Reviews of Why Evolution Is True
Book Review: Most of us were raised into evolution
Summary: 1 Stars
The only thing I learned about Creationism at school was when the teacher showed us an overhead picture of a huge tree, a snake and Adam and Eve without clothes. He didn't say anything just showed us it for a few seconds kind of embaressed of the past. Today I wonder who wrote the first DNA book that is coding for the make up of the cell in the first cell in the ocean. Now scientists raise the question wether the universe came from another dimension or not (the string theory). It is also possible to believe that God created the first cell and Adam and Eve and evolution did the rest.
It is probably easier to grow up in a Muslim country believing in Creationism as written in the book of Genesis. Evolutionists tend to exclude God like som kind of fundamentalists.
Summary of Why Evolution Is True
Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a factIn all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design," there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.
Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.
