The Evolution Conspiracy, Vol. 1: Exposing Life’s Inexplicable Origins and the Cult of Darwinby Lisa A. Shiel
Coming September 2009
Expose the Conspiracy!
“Shiel is consistently convincing…evolutionary scientists have circumvented the true scientific method.”—Dr. Quinton R. Rogers, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of Molecular Biosciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Davis
“A decidedly irreverent view of evolution…[Shiel] translates the off-putting jargon while outlining some major scientific hypotheses, warts and all.”—Tyler A. Kokjohn, PhD, professor of microbiology, Midwestern University
...
“Shiel systematically dismantles the arguments that have long been the cornerstone of Darwinian hegemony in the biological sciences in workmanlike fashion, illustrating exactly what is wrong with the theory in a compelling and easy-to-understand text. A triumph of logic over dogma!”—Timothy Birdnow, freelance writer and blogger for the American Daily Review
