Product Description
The fossil record is perhaps the most important evidence that demolishes the theory of evolution's claims. Fossils reveal that life forms on Earth have never undergone even the slightest change and have never developed into one another. Examining the fossil record, we see that living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years agoin other words, that they never underwent evolution. Even during the most ancient periods, life forms emerged suddenly with all their complex structureswith the perfect and superior features, just as do their counterparts today. This demonstrates one indisputable fact: Living things did not come into being through the imaginary processes of evolution. All the living things that have ever existed on Earth were created by God. This fact of creation is once again revealed in the traces left behind them by flawless living things. This book will provide you with not only such information as what fossils are and where and how they are found, but also a closer examination of a variety of fossil specimens, millions of years old, that are still able to declare, "We never underwent evolution; we were created." The fossils discussed and illustrated in this book are just a few examples of the hundreds of millions of specimens that prove the fact of creation. And even these few are enough to prove that the theory of evolution is a major hoax and deception in the history of science.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic production, miserable contents., October 16, 2008

By	Stephen B. Gray "Informed Antitheist" (Santa Monica, CA United States) - See all my reviews

First, this is the most expensively produced book I have ever seen. It's 11x15x2 inches, weighs 13 pounds, is printed on the finest paper, and has about 1000 excellent photographs. But its admitted goal is to further glorify Allah, which it does by repeating assertions that contradict the most elementary evolutionary science. It compares photos of recently dead animals and plants with ancient fossilized ones, and says repeatedly that their resemblance proves that there has been no evolution. (In fact there has been very little evolution in the carefully selected species he shows, but lots in ones he doesn't show.) Strangely, the dates given are all those accepted by science, as are the explanations of fossilization, plate tectonics, etc., so the author's only apparent goal is to "prove" that all species were specially created by Allah. If you're teaching a class on fossils or evolution and can make the pupils ignore the text, you won't find better pictures of fossils anywhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars would be funny if it weren't actually so serious, September 16, 2008

By	amazonianjim "amazonianjim" - See all my reviews

A shocking pile of nonsense. Useful to show to people who don't believe creationists are strongly deluded, cannot deal with evidence or argument, and might be very dangerous.

many academic get free copies sent to them. Long may this continue.

1.0 out of 5 stars Faith, not Fact, August 5, 2007

By	John Mcclain "suttonkyo na yatsu" (The Kingdom of Hawai'i) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Paralleling American Creationist works, this Islam-based "textbook" is founded on outdated scientific theories and religious texts - hardly a sound basis in which to dismiss evolution. The author, "Harun Yahya" is actually 51-year-old former interior-design student named Adnan Oktar. While interior design is a noble field, it's not what one would expect to count on when deciding the person has the scientific background for any substantive discussion of evolutionary theory. Although the title is accurate - "Atlas of CREATION" not "Atlas of Evolution", the product description that "living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years ago" and that "life forms emerged suddenly with all their complex structures" is incorrect - by accident or intention. While I respect all religions, misleading people is always wrong, and this book misleads in pretending to be something it is not. If you're reading for creationist arguments, this is the right book, if you're looking for sound discussion of evolutionary theory, then "anywhere but in this book" applies.
