5.0 out of 5 stars This Scholar Knows His Anatomy, and It Contradicts Evolution, September 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vestigial Organs Are Fully Functional: A History and Evaluation of the Vestigial Organ Origins Concept (Creation Research Society Monograph Ser) (Paperback)

This book provides a fascinating account of how supposedly-purposeless organs have been found to have a function--all in contradiction to ruling evolutionary beliefs. For instance, the "useless onetime third eye" pineal gland turns out to regulate circadian rythms. Those who try to find minor factual errors in the book, if any, are just throwing up a smokescreen to avoid this central issue. Furthermore, one could, without difficulty, call attention to numerous minor (and some not so minor) factual errors in evolutionary books. Do the latter indict evolutionary scholarship?

5.0 out of 5 stars Debunks the Vestigial Organ Argument for Evolution, January 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vestigial Organs Are Fully Functional: A History and Evaluation of the Vestigial Organ Origins Concept (Creation Research Society Monograph Ser) (Paperback)

From time immemorial, evolutionists have argued that various purposeless organs in our body are evidence of our evolutionary past. But as knowledge has increased, the list of these supposedly purposeless organs has been growing shorter and shorter. The author, Bergman, shows that all of the so-called vestigial organs have a function. For instance, did you know that the appendix has a lymphatic function? It most certainly is not a useless evolutionary leftover.

The Old Wise Man "Tim" (Toowoomba AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vestigial Organs Are Fully Functional: A History and Evaluation of the Vestigial Organ Origins Concept (Creation Research Society Monograph Ser) (Paperback)

This book fills a void in the scientific literature that many were happy that existed. The book covers many organs mainly in humans but also in animals and plants. The book brings together a lot of information into one book that is useful and highly informative for anyone.
You will be stretched to find another book of this genre.
