Nimimerkki scordova kertoo kirjoituksensa taustasta

There is the forgotten book Shattering the Myths of Darwinism written by a non-creationist agnostic Richard Milton. Milton expressed his skepticism of mainstream claims of the old-age of the fossil record. His work further motivated me toward the idea that there could an empirically driven critique of the accepted ages of the fossils.

Richard Milton is a science journalist and design engineer based in London. He is a member of Mensa, the international high-IQ society, and writes a column for Mensa Magazine. He has been a member of the Geologists’ Association for twenty years, and did extensive geological research for this book. He has been featured on the BBC, NBC, and other television networks.

Miltonin kirjasta taas kerrotaan Amazon.com sivulla näin

Compelling evidence that the most important assumptions on which Darwinism rests are wrong. The controversial best-seller that sent Oxford University and Nature magazine into a frenzy. 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life on Earth, but with keen insight and objectivity Richard Milton reveals that the theory totters atop a shambles of outdated and circumstantial evidence which in any less controversial field would have been questioned long ago.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.

Miten siis on?  ID yhteisöä edustava Scordova sanoo, että kirja on jo unohdettu 2013, mutta Amazon.com mainostaa sitä huikeana tieteen kehdon Oxfordin yliopiston ja tiedemaailman korkealle arvostaman Nature lehden kuumana perunana...
