Well, this is going nowhere but I'll toss out my position one more time before giving up.

The Shattering the Myths of Darwinism page is a summary, not the book. Maybe you should try reading the book before claiming it's full of inaccuracies? You can probably get it at a library like many other books and not have to pay for it. I don't claim that everything the author included in the book is correct. The author does not claim that everything he included in the book is correct. After discovering that evolutionary science was not anywhere near as complete and certain as we are taught in school he sought out the various alternative views offered over the years, many being suppressed by 'orthodox' science, and catalogued them. He is merely reporting what he found. And it's entirely possible that he did not explain some of these things as well as he should have. He is a journalist, not a scientist. He does give a lot of sources you could track down. Again, if you bothered to read the book instead of dismiss the summary.

And so what if those arguments have been used by creationists? The motive of the arguer has no bearing on the validity of the argument. This is the most blatant sort of logical mistake. You see why I don't think the community of believers in 'science' are really rational or scientific?

There are many more books pointing out the flaws of Darwinian theory, btw. It's not just this one. Here are just a couple of the more respectable ones written by 'real' scientists. Admittedly, they aren't easy to find. That's why I pointed to Milton's book first. It's easy to find.

The Transformist Illusion by Douglas Dewar (DeHoff Publications, 1957)

Flaws in the Theory of Evolution by Evan Shute (Craig Press, 1961)

Fyron:

I give up. You flat out deny what I say in the face of proof and deny you are denying. Then you distort what I say and claim I am distorting you. Look at what you quoted. I typed how life came to be how it is, not 'how life came to be'. There it is quoted right over your own distortion, and you went right ahead and chopped off half of the phrase to make it into a different claim. Evolution is not about 'how life came to be how it is'? Then what is it? Isn't Darwin's famous book titled 'The Origin of Species'?

Anyway, I see now why you shouldn't confuse idealogues with facts. I have better things to do.
