I was disappointed by Professor Keith Fox’s negative assessment (en May 2017) of Douglas Axe’s book Undeniable. Even though ‘almost all practising scientists affirm the basic facts of evolution’, the number of qualified scientists who reject evolution is growing. I commend the book Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels, which features nine PhD scientists qualified in disciplines such as biology, cosmology and genetics. They have not ‘stopped asking questions’ but would disagree with the claim that the evidence ‘overwhelmingly supports the evolutionary paradigm.’
In 1985, agnostic Dr Michael Denton published Evolution: a Theory in Crisis, which highlighted the major flaws in Darwinism. He has now published a sequel – Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis – in which he explains that the problems facing evolution are as real as ever, particularly the discontinuities in the natural world and the fossil record. This is consistent with the Genesis record of the special creation of distinct ‘kinds’.
There is no comparison between the development of a human being from a fertilised egg and the supposed evolution of life on earth from a single cell. A human egg already contains all the genetic information to create a human being. The hypothetical single-celled ancestor of all life could not have contained the information necessary for all the complexity which exists today. Natural selection can only select from what already exists, so where did all the new information come from?
