Features: In this shocking book, Berkeley biology PhD holder, author Jonathan Wells, exposes some shameful secrets known only to a few of his colleagues in biology. The well-known "icons" of evolution—such as the image of human evolution from apes, comparisons of fish and human embryos, and moths on tree trunks—are either wrong or misleading. For decades, the evolution taught to biology students has been fundamentally incorrect. Despite the evidence in scientific literature pointing out their errors, these "icons" of evolution still appear in new textbooks. Clearly, the proponents of Darwinian evolution turning it into dogma fear that without these "icons," the public will lose faith in their claims. Thus, they deliberately mislead our children with incorrect knowledge and suppress scientific evidence. In Icons of Evolution, Wells reveals: how the textbook assumptions about the early Earth environment during the origin of life are completely opposite to what scientists now believe; how the pictures showing embryonic similarities between fish and humans have been faked and yet are still used as evidence for evolution; how the series of photos in Darwin's theory of natural selection showing moths on tree trunks are actually false; and how the fruit fly examples used to discuss mutations, which are carefully bred in the lab, show the opposite of what evolution theory requires. The images of horse evolution and human evolution from apes have long been used to promote materialist philosophy that should not be taught in science classrooms. Icons of Evolution is both an eye-opening journey into contemporary biology and a powerful call for honesty in professional and educational fields. The book exposes how Darwinian evolution is a theory stuck in crisis, distorting the truth to maintain its influence in science education. It also issues a warning, urging scientists to clean up their act and remove the lies from their textbooks. For taxpayers who want to know how their hard-earned money is being used to indoctrinate children with evolution myths, Icons of Evolution is an essential read.
