Shattering the Myths of Darwinism
Autor Richard Miltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 feb 2000
The controversial best-seller that sent Oxford University and Nature magazine into a frenzy has at last come to the United States. "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism" exposes the gaping holes in an ideology that has reigned unchallenged over the scientific world for a century. Darwinism is considered to be hard fact, the only acceptable explanation for the formation of life on Earth, but with keen insight and objectivity Richard Milton reveals that the theory totters atop a shambles of outdated and circumstantial evidence which in any less controversial field would have been questioned long ago. Sticking to the facts at hand and tackling a vast array of topics, "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism" offers compelling evidence that the theory of evolution has become an act of faith rather than a functioning science, and that not until the scientific method is applied to it and the right questions are asked will we ever get the true answers to the mystery of life on Earth.
