Introduction

1
Evo’s Dark Secret
Extrapolated Mythology
“...The ‘General Theory of Evolution’ and the evidence that supports it is not sufficiently strong to allow us to consider it as anything more than a working hypothesis.”
George A. Kerkut

2
Treadmill to Oblivion
Darwin’s Obsolete Assumptions
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
Mark Twain

3
Formula One
“...the far higher problem...”
“The chances that life just occurred are about as unlikely as a typhoon blowing through a junkyard and constructing a Boeing 747.”
Chandra Wickramasinghe

4
The Gene Machine
Information
“I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science.”
Søren Løvtrup

5
Mutant “Science”
Genetic Mistakes
“Whoever thinks macroevolution can be made by mutations that lose information is like the merchant who lost a little money on every sale but thought he could make it up on volume.”
Lee Spetner

6
Evo Skips a Beat… or Two
Fossils AWOL
“All species are separated from each other by bridgeless gaps; intermediates between species are not observed.”
Ernst Mayr

7
The Mouse That Laughed
Irreducible Complexity
“...Natural selection can only choose systems that are already working. ...if a biological system cannot be produced gradually it would have to arise as an integrated unit, in one fell swoop, for natural selection to have anything to act on.”
Michael J. Behe

8
Smart Rocks
Intelligence from an Unintelligent Source?
“As evidence of evolution, the four winged fruit fly is no better than a two-headed calf in a circus sideshow.”  
Jonathon Wells

9
Darwin’s “Family” Tree
A Whale of a Fish Tale
“When I want to know how a fish can become a man, I am not enlightened by being told that the organisms that leave the most offspring are the ones that leave the most offspring.”
Phillip E. Johnson

10
Forty Million Mistakes
Debunking Common Ancestry
“To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story — amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific.”
Henry Gee

11
The “Perfect” Cataclysm
Hydraulic Action
“...Evolution is the central most disorganizing, anti‑intellectual, anti-science principle that biologists have ever been dictatorially forced to learn to understand the world…it stands as the greatest scandal in science of the last 140 years.”
Joseph Mastropaolo

12
Big! Bigger! Biggest!
Devolution
“Natural selection only eliminates, and its adoption as a mechanism of origin is like explaining ‘appearance’ by ‘disappearance’.”
Giuseppe Sermonti

13
Cosmic Convergence
Environment for Life
The Big Bang is merely “...a myth that attempts to say how the universe came into being....”
Hannes Alfvén

14
Numbers Game
Dating Planet Earth
“Ultimately, the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century.”
Michael Denton

15
Stacking the Deck
The Fraud Factor
“As evidence for evolution, the four-winged fruit fly is no better than a two-headed calf in a circus sideshow.”
Jonathan Wells
 
16
Teaching the Controversy
Academic Freedom
“Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con‑men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever.”
T. N. Tahmisian

17
The Unconstitutional Sneeze
Evo Meets the First Amendment
“…Teaching a variety of scientific theories about the origin of humankind to school children might be validly done with the clear secular intent of enhancing the effectiveness of science instruction.”
William J. Brennan

18
A Cultural Virus
Evo’s Dark Side
“Evolution is today, as it was 140 years ago, a clever speculation and a weak hypothesis, unsupported by the scientific evidence.”
Duane Arthur Schmidt

19
Empowering Reason
A Fresh Look at Old Ideas
“I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science.”
Wernher von Braun

20
Glory Forever
The Big Picture
“If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for His purpose.”
Rick Warren
