Dare to think Apr 24, 2007
By Anastazia Sienty
Dr. Umana's Creation: Towards a Theory of All Things, succeeds in doing what has not been done before -- reconciling creationism and intelligent design theory with portions of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. This is a remarkable and original new book, which I encourage everyone to read, scientists and the general public alike. It is a new theory of biological evolution. Dr. Umana draws an important dichotomy in that he endorses, on the one hand, the theory of common descent of species from earlier species, showing that it is proved by the convergence of the sciences. But on the other hand, he shows that Darwinists' notion that new species emerge from natural selection - random or chance incremental mutations over millions of years - is unsubstantiated and refuted by modern microbiology. He demonstrates that the core idea of Darwinism, though an interesting theory in the 1800's, is bad science today. Something else is going on to explain the emergence of life and the origin of species. These are the big issues of our day in the evolution debate, and this is the book we have all been waiting for.
What that "something else" is has never been explained by any scientist or philosopher before Creation. This is the first real effort to show how biological evolution operates in the origin of new species and the emergence of life. Dr. Umana, while agreeing that natural selection is a true force of nature as demonstrated by microevolution (e.g., the development of bacteria to resistance to antibiotics), shows that natural selection cannot explain emergence of new species. One of the author's arguments that caught my attention focused on recent DNA studies as to the evolution of all dog breeds 15,000 years ago in East Asia from a single gene pool of a small group of gray wolves. Dogs in North America did not evolve from North American wolves. Likewise, European dogs did not evolve from European wolves. As Dr. Umana argues, how could this be if natural selection were the explanation for dog evolution? What happened to natural selection in North America or Europe? This latest genetic evidence, among other evidence, disproves Darwin's notion of `natural selection' as the supposed mechanism for the origin of species. This book also analyzes NASA's discoveries on Mars and on other bodies in our solar system to show that life does not just arise one day on its own. Why did life emerge on Earth 3.9 billion years ago, but not on Mars or anywhere else in our solar system? This book offers a new approach in answering these questions.
One of the most intriguing parts of this book is the author's marshalling of the latest NASA findings as to the Big Bang evolution of the cosmos (in his Chapter 1), as scientific evidence to support his theory of evolution. No one has ever analyzed the Big Bang like this before. He also analyzes the crop circle phenomenon, the spate of crop circles being formed all around the world each year, from the latest scientific evidence (Chapter 8), such as the higher germination rates of seeds taken from plants that are found within crop circle formations and the higher radiation levels discovered in crop circles after formation. He demonstrates that something is going on here that cannot be explained away by the supposition of human pranksters. He ties this latest scientific research in with his theory that life emerged not only on earth but elsewhere in the cosmos.
Nothing like this has been done before in terms of the breadth and scope of the scientific phenomena analyzed and explained. It presents the "Big Picture" as to the emergence of life and the origin of species as has never before been done.
