Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Life on Earth just a very long running 'accident, ' as many believe Darwin showed it to be, or is it, as some scientists now argue, an intelligent process? There are two basic philosophies of existence: materialist and idealist. The materialist view, dominant in biology today, is that only matter is real, and that Mind and Life are simply 'accidents' of Mindless, Lifeless matter. The idea is that 'by accident' atomic matter eventually became 'alive, ' conscious, human shaped and capable of doing science - and the purpose of that science is to intelligently explain the (allegedly) meaningless and unintelligent Cosmos and Nature from which we emerge - it's all simply a vast accident. Darwin's theory was an attempt to provide a purely materialist, nointelligence- involved, god-not-needed, explanation of Life on Earth. Traditionally, it was the world's religions who argued that Life and Mind were more than matter alone, yet, increasingly, today, various non-religious thinkers are also starting to question the Darwinian, 'accidental particles to accidental people' view of existence. Continuing their discussion of these controversial matters begun in The Evolution Delusion, two friends, Oliver and Alisha, argue that, while clearly, evolution of some kind is a fact, it's an intelligent fact not a meaningless one. They note that even Alfred Russell Wallace who, along with Darwin, co-invented the idea of random, blind-watchmaker evolution eventually concluded that his and Darwin's theory didn't work. He realized that their theory could not account for very Life itself - the Life Force and the Soul in all things. It could not account for Consciousness and Mind, nor could it account for Nature's incredible, 24/7-dynamic processes and transformations, such as the astonishing metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The postulate of molecules-to-human evolution by natural selection (evolutionism), like creationism, cannot be demonstrated empirically. Therefore, the creationism-evolutionism controversy offers a choice between intelligent design by God and unintelligent design by evolutionary selection. Scientists are split on philosophical grounds since events in the immaterial realm are outside the purview of science. In reality, designers claim products; no product of a process, can account for how it was designed or for its ontology. Accordingly, Scientific American Editor John Rennie suggested that one way to override a purely evolutionary worldview is, if the creator/s appeared and claimed credit. Author Michael Ebifegha's previous book The Death of Evolution provides the historical details of Gods ancient claim for creating the universe before an audience. Dawkins, in his The God Delusion, failed to address this historical event; hence, his statement that There almost certainly is no God is flawed. The Darwinian Delusion discusses the fossil record, the role of natural selection; the mystery of the origin of life and Gods affirmation of agency in world history. Ebifegha argues that both the scientific and philosophical analysis point to God as the Creator and hence the delusion as such is not about God, but about the Darwinian paradigm of materialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evolution Delusion is written by Bo Kirkwood, D.O., demonstrating that not everyone who opposes evolution is an uneducated religious fanatic. Dr. Kirkwood examines evolution from a scientific perspective to show that evolution is not based on the scientific method; rather it is a philosophy accepted by men who have rejected God's revelation and excluded the possibility of the miraculous. The evolutionary theory conflicts with many scientific facts. The presuppositions assumed by evolutionary theory are mathematically so improbable that only a rabid faith in the theory would cause one to continue to defend it. After showing the weaknesses of the evolutionary theory, Dr. Kirkwood looks at the Biblical alternative - creation. Dr. Kirkwood's work is written so that one who is not a science professional will have little trouble comprehending his arguments.

Book excerpt: DEBUNKING THE "EVIDENCE" BEHIND THE EVOLUTIONIST WORLDVIEW: Throughout the last half of the twentieth century, and now into the new millennium, the public has been fed a steady diet of anti-Biblical propaganda by an increasingly determined cadre of evolutionist scientists, educators and media outlets. The result of this concerted effort has been a shifting of public consciousness away from Biblical truth and into a new paradigm in which belief in some form of Darwinian evolution has become a Litmus test of acceptability in our society. But is this paradigm shift founded on legitimate scientific evidence? The answer to this question is a resounding NO. Over the last several decades, scientists in widely varied disciplines have refuted much of the "evidence" behind today's various competing evolution theories. The time has finally come to expose evolution for what it is: delusion. Kenneth Lawrence was born in British Columbia, Canada, where he currently resides. He has had an intense interest in science most of his life. A believer in Darwinian evolution for many years, Ken became a Christian at the age of twenty-three, but had difficulty accepting a straightforward reading of the Bible's account of origins for many years. In his late forties, Ken began to seriously investigate the scientific claims of evolution theory. Nearly a decade of personal research has resulted in an invigorated faith in the God of the Bible and in the writing of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the field of evolution differ from other sciences? The author, a reviewer for a major medical journal, scrutinized hundreds of scientific references in evolutionary literature, adopting the same standards used for studies submitted for medical publication. The data show that there are two types of evolution, microevolution and macroevolution, with a clear boundary between them based upon the presence and absence of empirical evidence, respectively. The surprising results show that there is a universal disconnect between the data and the conclusions that claim to show the larger changes of macroevolution. The author reveals patterns of deviations from standard scientific methods in these studies. For the first time, evolutionary data have been summarized to describe both what evolution can and cannot accomplish. The author shows the reader how to recognize the different ways in which the evidence for microevolution within and between some species differs from the unsupported macroevolution of most species. Previous critiques of macroevolution have been debunked by advocates who have cited a multitude of scientific studies. This book goes beyond previous critiques by directly addressing the data from these studies to see if they do, in fact, support macroevolution-focused conclusions. Many expert counterarguments against this book’s thesis are presented and examined in the context of scientific research to reassure the reader that the author has left no stone unturned in the macroevolution debate. A theory is proposed as to why there may be no empirical evidence for macroevolution. The book concludes with a section entitled “What we see differently.” There, the author shows the reader the differences in perspective between the evolutionist and macroevolution critic as they look at and interpret the very same set of data.

Book excerpt: For all the discussion in the media about creationism and 'Intelligent Design', virtually nothing has been said about the evidence in question - the evidence for evolution by natural selection. Yet, as this succinct and important book shows, that evidence is vast, varied, and magnificent, and drawn from many disparate fields of science. The very latest research is uncovering a stream of evidence revealing evolution in action - from the actual observation of a species splitting into two, to new fossil discoveries, to the deciphering of the evidence stored in our genome. Why Evolution is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, palaeontology, geology, molecular biology, anatomy, and development to demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the processes first proposed by Darwin. It is a crisp, lucid, and accessible statement that will leave no one with an open mind in any doubt about the truth of evolution.

Book excerpt: Freeing the Spirit of EnquiryThe Science Delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. In this book (published in the US as Science Set Free), Dr Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows that science is being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. The 'scientific worldview' has become a belief system. All reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter. Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion. God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. Sheldrake examines these dogmas scientifically, and shows persuasively that science would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun.In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins used science to bash God, but here Rupert Sheldrake shows that Dawkins' understanding of what science can do is old-fashioned and itself a delusion.

Book excerpt: Should we believe in God? In this brisk introduction to modern atheism, one of the world’s greatest science writers tells us why we shouldn’t. Richard Dawkins was fifteen when he stopped believing in God. Deeply impressed by the beauty and complexity of living things, he’d felt certain they must have had a designer. Learning about evolution changed his mind. Now one of the world’s best and bestselling science communicators, Dawkins has given readers, young and old, the same opportunity to rethink the big questions. In twelve fiercely funny, mind-expanding chapters, Dawkins explains how the natural world arose without a designer—the improbability and beauty of the “bottom-up programming” that engineers an embryo or a flock of starlings—and challenges head-on some of the most basic assumptions made by the world’s religions: Do you believe in God? Which one? Is the Bible a “Good Book”? Is adhering to a religion necessary, or even likely, to make people good to one another? Dissecting everything from Abraham’s abuse of Isaac to the construction of a snowflake, Outgrowing God is a concise, provocative guide to thinking for yourself. Praise for Outgrowing God “My son came home from his first day in the sixth grade with arms outstretched plaintively demanding to know: ‘Have you ever heard of Jesus?’ We burst out laughing. Maybe not our finest parenting moment, given that he was genuinely distraught. He felt that he had woken up one day to a world in which his peers were expressing beliefs he found frighteningly unreasonable. He began devouring books like The God Delusion, books that helped him formulate his own arguments and helped him stand his ground. Dawkins’s new book is special in the terrain of atheists’ pleas for humanism and rationalism precisely since it speaks to those most vulnerable to the coercive tactics of religion. As Dawkins himself says in the dedication, this book is for ‘all young people when they’re old enough to decide for themselves.’ It is also, I must add, for their parents.”—Janna Levin, author of Black Hole Blues “When someone is considering atheism I tell them to read the Bible first and then Dawkins. Outgrowing God—second only to the Bible!”—Penn Jillette, author of God, No!

Book excerpt: From a bestselling author, an “incendiary and uproarious” assault on the pretensions of scientific atheists (National Review) Militant atheism is on the rise. Prominent thinkers including Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have published best-selling books denigrating religious belief. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community. In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil's Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.

Book excerpt: Many people, today, believe that Darwin successfully explained the origins of Life on Earth. More controversially, some, like Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, maintain that Darwin showed not merely that Life and Mind on Earth were not instantly created, a mere few thousand years ago, they weren't 'created' at all. They were simply lucky coincidences of chemistry and any arguments for intelligent causation in Nature are merely wishful thinking. There are just random events . . . for ever and ever. A lot of people are troubled by this. It can make our own Lives and the beautiful Living World seem completely pointless. But should they be? Or is it just a modern myth that mere chance can explain everything? Some scientists maintain, for example, that there are now rock-solid techniques to show that 'accidental' Life is not merely improbable, it's demonstrably impossible. Are they deluded or do they have a point? Others cite over 150 years of psychic research demonstrating evidence for the super Natural, including Life after death. What many also don't realize is that Darwin himself had some serious doubts about the ability of his purely materialistic theory to give a full account of Life on Earth. This fascinating, wide-ranging and heartfelt book explores the modern case for there being more to our Lives and Minds than mere 'accidents of chemistry' and why Darwin was right to have those doubts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Extinction of Evolution explores what the world would be like if the theory of evolution were actually true. Written from the view that man created the idea of God, as opposed to God creating man, this book painstakingly examines this atheistic mentality in vivid detail. What it reveals will surprise you. Evolution, implemented to its logical conclusion, has severe ramifications for humankind. When one rejects the foundational truth of God and embraces Darwins alternative to our origins, a disastrous chain of events is triggered. As you dive deeply into this worldview of evolution, you will be exposed to the most frightening environment imaginable where the rape, murder and exploitation of the weak are not to be punished but to be applauded. In the misguided words of Charles Darwin, let the strongest live and the weakest die. After traveling through the abyss of evolution, a miserable philosophical failure, The Extinction of Evolution, brings you back to a place of hope where Christ stands above all as the Creator of this remarkable thing we call life. The Extinction of Evolution has been compared to The Screwtape Letters, a classic work of C.S. Lewis. Like Screwtape, this book has a fictional character that is the antagonist. His name is Dr. Iman Oxidant. Dr. Oxidant argues for a lifestyle derived from evolutionary ideals. This approach makes this book about evolution accessible to the non - scientific reader. But in doing so, Dr. Oxidant causes an intense spiritual struggle for the born again believer as he argues for his atheisticevolutionary agenda. It is a gripping read that identifies the true nature of evolution in a way that has never been done before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, a Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Americans believed God had created man in his present form within the last 10,000 years. In a Pew Forum poll in the same year, 42 percent believed that all life on earth has existed in its present form since the beginning of time. In 1859 Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, shook society to its core. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke. But he surely would have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. Now the author of the iconic work The God Delusion takes them to task. The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument." Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics. Combining these elements and many more, he makes the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection." The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is menacing as never before. In American schools, and in schools around the world, insidious attempts are made to undermine the status of science in the classroom. Dawkins wields a devastating argument against this ignorance, but his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time now, especially since Darwin, science has been ruled by the philosophy of materialism which holds that Life and Mind are simply accidents of matter and that to argue otherwise is just wishful thinking. Some scientists write books with titles like The God Delusion promoting this view of existence. At the same time we now know, as Darwin did not, that Living cells are like micro-miniaturized factories of stunning, DNA CODED complexity where all Life is sustained, 24/7, by astonishingly complex processes at supercomputer speeds. It is also now known that a single human brain has more molecular-scale switches than all the computers, routers and internet connections on the entire planet. Today, increasing numbers scientists and thinkers are skeptical that life and mind can be reduced to matter and that random events are responsible for such amazingly clever bio-functioning. This is why, in conflict with the Darwinian view of evolution, they suggest that the Living World does not look like a 24/7 'accident' because it really, genuinely isn't one. Paralleling these discoveries, modern research into psychic phenomena, out of body and near death experiences has begun to show that human consciousness is transdimensional, it can exist apart from the body and, amazingly, that the personality does, after all, survive the death of the body. It is science today, as much as religion, that is starting to confirm collective humanity's perennial intuition that Life is not only magical but also intelligent and meaningful. We join two friends, Oliver and Alisha, as they discuss these controversial issues while on a walk in some beautiful countryside.
