Expose the lies at the heart of the evolution vs. creationism debate and discover the truth!

Religious fundamentalists and biblical literalists present arguments that attempt to disprove evolution. Those with a sympathetic ear often fail to critically examine these creationist claims, leading to an ill-informed public and, perhaps more troubling, ill-advised public policy. As Aron Ra makes clear, every single argument deployed by creationists in their attacks on evolution is founded on fundamental scientific, religious, and historical falsehoods.

Among their most popular claims is that evolution is a religion, that there are no transitional species, that there are no beneficial mutations, and that supposedly sacred scripture is the infallible word of God. Yet, as the evidence and data plainly show, each of these claims is demonstrably and unequivocally false. There is simply no truth to creationism whatsoever, and the entire enterprise rests on a foundation of falsehoods.

This insightful book explains and exposes the worst of these lies, and should be read by all who honestly care about following the evidence no matter where it might lead in pursuit of the truth. For general readers interested in science, critical thinking, and the evolution vs. creationism debate.
