The Evolution Conspiracy by Lisa A. Shiel

A deceptively simple word that has transformed the way we look at ourselves and everything around us. Once considered unique, man has been reduced to little more than another animal, thanks to evolutionary theories. Textbooks present evolution as fact—indisputable, inevitable, and incomprehensible unless you hold a PhD in a relevant field.

Don’t believe it. Anyone can understand evolution. And this book provides the tools!

Evolutionists push the idea that only religious zealots dispute evolution. The Evolution Conspiracy exposes the faults in evolutionary theories, the half-truths, and the inconsistencies through a secular lens.

The Evolution Conspiracy takes on the challenge to demonstrate the real facts:

  • Evolution fails to meet standard criteria for a fact or a theory.
  • No one can satisfactorily define what a species is.
  • The usual definition of evolution is so vague as to be meaningless.
  • No one knows how life originated, or where the original living cell came from.
  • DNA is not infallible (despite what CSI would lead you to believe).

Read. Think. Decide for yourself.

Evolution is a topic that will create debate in any group of people.  There are such a wide spectrum of theories, beliefs, and even conspiracies.  Scientists pit themselves against theologians.  There is no happy medium on the topic of evolution.

Lisa Shiel’s The Evolution Conspiracy takes a look at the science behind the theory of evolution.  She offers facts, examples, and history.  The books offers up the definitions for so many words thrown about by each side of the debate and make it easy to understand by those of us without fancy degrees.

Though Shiel maintains an unbiased view of the subject, she offers many points that knock gaping holes into the scientific theories of evolution.  Included are many illustrations, graphs, photos, a glossary, and an index.

This book is not something to lightly peruse through on a Saturday afternoon.  It requires you to think.  It makes you ponder everything you learned in school and even church.  But it does so in a way that does not attack either side.  As the back says you must decide for yourself.

I liked the book though I think that it isn’t for everyone.  It is a bit technical and tedious at times and I did have to re-read a few sections.  Shiel does her best to make the whole topic seem less scientific and more approachable and she achieves that for the most part.

If you are interested more in the topic of evolution or you like to play devil’s advocate, I recommend picking up this book and taking a deeper look into the theory of evolution.

*Again, I’d like to thank the author for signing my copy of the book!  Always brightens my day!
