 rubbish masquerading as meaningful Jul 25, 2009
By C. Jordan
What Genesis tells us about the age of the Earth? Give me a break. This is expensive toilet paper.

Boldly ignorant, entirely unconvincing Jul 26, 2009
By Alan Hogan
I may concisely review this novel by pointing out that pointing out that, on the same page, it: proposes "increased radiation after the Great Flood" (a scientifically unsupported event and explanation) as the reason that humans age (but didn't back in the days of Adam and Eve); cites no evidence for this claim; remains ignorant of biological factors for aging such as telomeres; and claims that a Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden actaully had the power to make someone live forever, but provides not a line of support for the idea.
The cognitive dissonance and leaps of logic are staggering. To invoke radiation is to invoke science (certainly the Bible makes no mention of radiation), but to ignore biological (indeed genetic) causes of aging is non scientific; to promote a literal Tree of Life with magic fruit is plain old wishful thinking and make-believe.
This book absolutely hates logic and reason.

I hoped it would tell me something factual! Garbage, lies and no truth Apr 28, 2011
By Realist
This thing points out certain iperfections about other peoples theories, thus concluding since they have not given a 1000% proof of everyday history since the beginning of time its not true. But wait there is more! Whenever there is a lack of scientific proof for anything...than the "god proof" comes in..."YEAH, these scientists do not know and have no answere because only god can make such complex thing.....that is the proof that god is there and evolution is garbage...

 Interesting, if Flawed Aug 10, 2009
By M. Ellis
Just finished reading this book, and I must say it certainly had its highlights. "G-man" is at his best in the book's first half, where he shows just how many holes Darwinism has in it, and how it takes just as much faith to believe in Darwinian Evolution as it does to believe in God, maybe more (probably more). Perhaps G-man does this no better than when he shows how Darwin's middling fossils do not exist; those fossils that would purport to show evidence of macro-evolution, when one life form was in the middling stages of becoming another life form.
I think the less-than-mature words posted by some of the Evolutionists in here prove just how effective G-man was in dismantling much of Darwinism. He really left them no room to squirm, and squirm it seems they are.
The book is broken up into three sections. The first section, "Science Disproves Evolution", is by far the most engaging and powerful. It is clearly where G-man does his best work, debunking Evolutionary fallacies. However, the first section takes up 210 pages of a 282-page book. That means that out of necessity both parts 2 and 3 ("G Theory" and "A Closer look at the Genesis Account of Creation", respectively) are less than what they could, or should, be.
G-man's explanation of G Theory sort of muddles along, obviously dragging when compared to the first section. And G-man's supposed proof of the Book of Genesis proving G Theory is just simply unpersuasive. That is not to say there are not some critical points and serious food for thought. But it seems that by this time of the book, G-man was so worn out from beating Darwinism into the scientific fallacy it is that he simply had little left for the last third of the book. His debunking of Darwin was a tour de force; his own ability to defend G Theory and its relational aspect to the Book of Genesis creation account leaves much to be desired.
Also, G-man certainly gives the hint of being rather anti-Catholic. He takes a few totally unrelated and unneeded swipes at the Roman Catholic Church at certain parts of the book. He seems quite historically ignorant as to what the relationship between the Church and science was in history.
One last thing, there are numerous grammatical and spelling mistakes throughout the book. Unlike G-man's critics, I will not use such a thing to condemn the book overall, or the author's obvious intelligence in many areas. Rather, it appears this is a book done on a small budget, and a quality editor was not in the budget.
Overall, I would recommend this book. While you may not come out of the experience a disciple of G Theory, still G-man offers up enough food for thought to make reading "The Darwin Delusion" worth your time.

 One for the open-minded Aug 10, 2009
By E. Thomas
This is not a book that will win many friends from the two polarized positions taken by creationists or evolutionists. This book breaks new ground and consequently will please few but educate many. It provides information that creates debate and challenges excepted wisdom.
From the comments of people who bought this book before me, it clearly enrages evolutionists, and I can understand why.
I was interested to learn that although the BBC tells us that evolution is a "fact", backed by mountains of evidence, when push comes to shove, it actually has no credible mechanism to explain anything in detail -- such as, the origin of life, the creation of DNA and genes, let alone cells, or sex, or male and female sex organs. Nothing! Amazing!
It also describes how the new technique of "cladistics" is used to manufacture the zillions of intermediate forms, that are crucial to the theory, where none existed before. As I see it now, evolution is just wishful thinking, a scenario of what Darwin would like to have happened, a fairy tale that mesmerizes atheists and many innocent intellectuals.
The book compares the grandiose claims of evolution to someone's plans for a holiday of a lifetime. It all sounds wonderful, but the unfortunately the person is unemployed and bankrupt and has no money, so it won't happen. In the same way, evolution did not happen because it has no credible mechanism , as some confirmed evolutionists even admit. So, although the theory fails the scientific tests Darwin himself set for it himself, they still cling to it as a matter of "faith".
And there's more, much more. As the title says - get the facts behind the fiction. Fascinating stuff.
