Book Description

0966816013 978-0966816013 December 16, 2002
The Case Against Darwin is James Perloff's newest title on the creation-evolution debate. Written from a creationist perspective, this 83-page book is a primer for those unfamiliar with the subject, and too busy for a full-length book such as the author's earlier Tornado in a Junkyard.

Perloff first explores the social impact of Darwinism to establish the relevance of the topic. Then, in layman's language, he discusses the growing body of evidence that is invalidating Darwin's theory of evolution: evidence from genetics, origins science, biochemistry, paleontology, taxonomy and molecular biology. Finally, he examines fallacies of certain evidences commonly said to support Darwin's theory: Ernst Haeckel's embryo drawings, vestigial organs, salt percentages in blood and seawater, babies born with "monkey tails," peppered moths, microevolution, and similarity as a proof of common descent.

Despite the scientific nature of the material, Perloff keeps it light and short, and most readers should find The Case Against Darwin an easy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for the school library, January 14, 2003
By 
"kurtkirk" (spring, tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Case Against Darwin: Why the Evidence Should Be Examined (Paperback)
This book capsulizes the most impacting evidence against Darwin's theory of evolution. As a holder of an advanced degree in Genetics I found it suitable for the beginning student in the Sciences when confronted with a project discussing the evidence for and against the evolutionary theory. There are other sources of recent study available on Design Theory, but I believe these might be too advanced for those in elementary through middle school (grades 1-8). High school students could use this book as an introduction to the argument against evolutionary theory, especially speciation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A QUICK AND INFORMATIVE READ, March 31, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Case Against Darwin: Why the Evidence Should Be Examined (Paperback)
Call it what you will: summary, capsulation, primer, etc.,
this book provides more than ample evidence unmistakably
and unambiguously invalidating Darwin's theories. Perloff
clearly demonstrates that belief in evolution requires not
only rejecting all the evidence to the contrary, but
everlastingly accepting unproven hypothesis after unproven
hypothesis in perpetuity. The auther points out how Stalin,
Hitler and Marx were influenced by Darwin's writings.
Some fan club!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and to the point, April 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Case Against Darwin: Why the Evidence Should Be Examined (Paperback)
This book is a very fast read, heavy on facts, with very little filler. The book is a shortened version of "Tornado in a Junkyard," and is a good starting point for studying the difference between the creationist and evolutionary opinions. "Tornado" is much more detailed, and includes chapters on the authors transformation from an evolution supporter to a Christian Creationist.

Both books were fast reads, packed full of info. They are also heavily footnoted and referenced.
