By Fred Reed I was about fifteen when I began to think about evolution. I was then just discovering the sciences systematically, and took them as what they offered themselves to be, a realm of reason and dispassionate regard for truth. There was a hard-edged clarity to them that I liked. You got real answers. [...] By Fazale Rana, Ph.D. Chiroptophobia is the fear of bats, but even though they look frightening there is really no rational reason to be afraid of these winged mammals. There are probably well over 1,000 species of bats in the world, only three of which feed on blood. (All of these blood suckers live in [...]
By James Le Fanu The philosopher Thomas Nagel in a memorable phrase laments ‘the ludicrous overuse of evolutionary biology to explain everything about life’ — where there is nothing too sensational, extraordinary or bizarre about the living world that cannot be accounted for as having evolved to be that way over billions of [...]

By Robert Crowther Darwin was wrong. Missing links still missing. There is no such thing as junk DNA. Birds did not descend from Dinosaurs. Irreducible complexity is still irreducibly complex. Tiktaalik has been invalidated by an earlier ancestor. Haeckel’s embryo drawings are still fake (and [...]
By Ray Bohlin, Ph.D. A River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life by Richard Dawkins is the fourth in a series being published by Basic Books entitled “The Science Masters Series.” This series is said to be “a global publishing venture consisting of original science books written by leading scientists.” Purposing to [...] |
