5.0 out of 5 stars Review from the Publisher, March 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Creation Rediscovered: Evolution & the Importance of the Origins Debate (Paperback)

There are two fundamental but contradictory understandings of life and all physical reality from the point of view of their origins: Creation and Evolution. This book is primarily a study of Evolution, which carefully considers all basic aspects of that belief system - both "Natural Evolution" and Theistic Evolution." The author covers the basic question, the two basic Evolution theories, the concept of "Special Creation," the discoveries of science, the fossil record, genetics, entropy (the conservation of energy, etc.) the age of the universe, pointers to a Creator, the problems with "Theistic Evolution" and "Progressive Creation," and a number of other questions. The outcome is that there is not only no proof for Evolution, but that the proof from DNA shows that Evolution cannot occur! One of the great hallmarks of this important book is the author's discussion on the influence of Evolution on belief systems. He shows in the first part of the book that Evolution as a belief system is not only unfounded, but is contradicted at every turn by the scientific facts. AND YET Evolution forms the underlying belief structure of Nazism, Communism, Socialism, Existentialism, Humanism, and Modernism (the formally condemned heretical belief that is rife among today's Catholic clergy and hierarchy). Thus, many leading "isms" in todya's Church and world are based upon fundamental belief assumptions that are positively wrong! This book is pivotal for everyone today because it puts to rest once and for all the possibility for Evolution and it shows that we face the erroneous deductions and false policies of a host of deluded minds in both our Church and in our society. Not enought can be said for the impoortance of this book.

The author will be touring the United States in June - watch your local paper for more information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evolution: the greatest myth of our time, April 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Creation Rediscovered: Evolution & the Importance of the Origins Debate (Paperback)

Mr. Keane has explored numerous aspects of the Origins debate and has delved into some of the most important questions regarding the contoversey. While oriented toward Catholics and any other Christian believers in particular, this marvelous book is sound and pack-filled with captivating scientific evidence refuting the so-called theory of evolution while at the same time shedding light on scientific findings that give support for the Biblical account. Philoshopy and theoglogy are not discounted as invalid fields of knowledge; history and science show that materialism and naturalism are the belief systems that must be reconsidered. A fun and excellent read. A must read for any Catholic and a definite read for any true scientist who is not afraid of what nature may or may not tell him- it tells the truth; man may not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exposes Evolution Theory as pure science fiction, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Creation Rediscovered: Evolution & the Importance of the Origins Debate (Paperback)

This book explains how the main so-called 'mechanism of evolution', natural selection, can be shown to actually disprove the theory of evolution. For example, a bird's wings (or flying reptile's) have to be perfectly designed for them to function. A prototype wing, that couldn't really bring flight, would have no reason to be 'selected' for further development. In fact, it would make the animal more likely to be encumbered and a prey to other animals. According to the book, scientists are searching for some other mechanism of evolution, so far unsuccessfully. They cannot solve the riddle of proteins and DNA. Proteins are highly complex structures whose growth and development are controlled by DNA. But the formation of DNA itself requires proteins. Then how could proteins 'evolve' unless there was DNA present. But the DNA cannot develop unless proteins are present. Neither could come first because they both need each other. The book also talks about the mutation issue. At best only one in ten thousand genetic mutations is NOT harmful. Genetic changes due to mutations therefore could not account for an improvement in the species, but actually would cause it's decline, since negative carryovers far outweigh the positive. Finally the book explains why teaching evolution as a proven fact is dangerous, by showing that belief in evolution is a common denominator of Nazism, Communism, Secular Humanism, Existentialism and Modernism.
