Dr. Spetner argues very convincingly, on scientific grounds – not theological – why the theory of evolution has no legs to stand on. He offers compelling evidence that the data we have does not support the “fact” that all living species have evolved from some primitive, single-celled life form, nor does the data support the theory that it all happened by means of random mutations and natural selection.
Dr. Spetner acknowledges that evolution does happen, but rapidly, as we witness in many examples that occur today, whereby plants and animals do evolve to become better adapted to their environment. But these organisms do so, he proposes – in what he terms the non-random evolutionary hypothesis – because they have a built-in capacity to adapting to a changing environment, not because of random mutations.
Dr. Spetner’s book is written not only with the scientist in mind but for the lay reader as well. The author strives for clarity and readability. He offers us a theory that could have a far-ranging impact on how humanity regards itself, and can influence greatly future scientific research. As such, it makes for compelling, fascinating, and elucidating reading.
