Why Evolution is a Fraud: A Secular and Common-Sense Deconstruction [Paperback]

Tom Sutcliff (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 11, 2007

Written like a newspaper article, Why Evolution is a Fraud: A Secular and Common-Sense Deconstruction exposes the shocking racism and blatant distortions of this pseudo-scientific, atheistic philosophy. Regardless of your background in science (or lack thereof), Why Evolution is a Fraud is easy to understand, decisive and engrossing. What makes Why Evolution is a Fraud unique is that it breaks the tired old stalemate of 'religion versus science' by using scientific facts and common sense to annihilate evolution. Definitive and heavily researched Why Evolution is a Fraud shows why the theory of evolution is mathematically and genetically impossible. The book also shows how such a weak, wannabe-science has survived in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary. Readers who liked Treason by Ann Coulter, Blink & The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell will enjoy Why Evolution is a Fraud.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Fraud is This Book, March 8, 2009

As a someone who has studied the History of Science, Botany, and Zoology at the University of Wisconsin, I take issue with the premise and content of this book. This is not how most researchers act, behave, or think. Most biologists I've met are careful, thoughtful, and engaging people as well as kind, caring, and compassionate.

The data presented in this book is piecemeal, often hinging on old arguments, and shows an obvious selection bias. Evolutionary theory is better understood at this point (e.g. in many ways, we know more about evolution than the theory of gravity) and supported by more different kinds of evidence than just about anything else in modern science . Save yourself time and skip this FRAUD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic retread of tired old arguments, April 19, 2009

This review is from: Why Evolution is a Fraud: A Secular and Common-Sense Deconstruction (Paperback)

Unlike many evolution opponents who criticize scientific books they never read, I took the time to read this one, thinking that at least it might present some new arguments from the creationism side (since it claims to bring a secular perspective to the anti-evolution argument). Unfortunately, it brings absolutely nothing new to the table, and merely consists of the same old tired religious arguments stripped of religion, basically boiling it all down to personal incredulity, which of course is not the same as doing good science. A worthless read, and now I want my 3 hours back.

Double-whammy against it: over $20 for a paperback??? And a shoddy one at that. If you feel you MUST read this book, check it out from your local library. But again, I advise against wasting time on this dreck.

1.0 out of 5 stars A truly dreadful book, August 6, 2007

By 

Douglas Weller (Derbyshire UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Why Evolution is a Fraud: A Secular and Common-Sense Deconstruction (Paperback)

It reads like a political diatribe. He manages to accuse 'evolutionists' of being Stalinists, Hitler supporters, and the cause of the Columbine massacre, while at the same time showing either his ignorance of what evolutionary theory actually has to say or his willingness to lie about it. In his first chapter he repeats the hoary old lie that evolution is all about randomness and chance. And the lie that Kettlewell glued moths to trees (has he never read a book written by a supporter of evolution to see what they actually say, or checked the Kettlewell story - if he'd read the book he quotes he would have discovered he was wrong?). He gets all excited about the fact that Haeckel's 1866 theory that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny has long been rejected, and for some reason thinks that this proves evolution wrong (it doesn't). He makes the ludicrous claim that a "common theme of evolution" is "Monkeys and apes resemble humans so we must share a common ancestor." And he manages to accuse supporters of evolution as racists while at the same time complaining that primitive man is not depicted as blue-eyed, blond-haired anf fair skin (hardly a recipe for survival in Africa).
If you want to read something whose main message is a political one, eg his statement "When we stand by and allow the truth to be perverted by politically-correct, God-hating socialists, we bear some responsibility for the poisoned fruits that ripen as we sat idle", this is the book for you. If you want to read something objective about evolution, avoid this book like the plague.
And guess which one of the reviewers praising is apparently the author?
