Why Evolution is a Fraud

Why Evolution is a Fraud by Tom Sutcliff is a must read for anyone who wants an well-written, non-technical and heavily-researched book on why evolution is a fraud. http://www.evofraud.com is the book's website. I recently finished it and I highly recommend it. I've read most of the books that Sutcliff cites as sources and this is one of the best that I've seen.The book is also available at Amazon, Barnes and noble and Borders, but the website for the book has the lowest price.Edited by Evolution Crusher, : No reason given.

Anyone who says evolution is mathematically impossible is a fraud.Thank you for proving that "there is a sucker born every minute" is still true.Enjoy.

Hi, Evolution Crusher.The write up didn't really impress me enough to want to spend my money on it, no matter how cheap it is. Maybe if I see it sold used I'll spring for it. I bet that most if not all of Sutcliff's claims are taken care of on TalkOrigin's PRATT list. But why don't you take what you think to be Sutcliff's best argument and start a thread on it? The discussion might be instructive for all concerned.

As you're recommending this book, I assume that you've read it.What's his best point?

Having looked at the website it appears that the term "fraud" is better applied to the book itself. It looks like a collection of emotive appeals backed up by lies and smears.But surprise us. If there are any really good, honest arguments against evolution in the book I'd be interested in seeing them.

There are a lot of strong points, so it is hard to narrow it down to just one.Sutcliff cites a recent BBC article where students at a UK university tried to put the famous typing monkey theory into practice. Needless to say, the monkeys did not type anything that even remotely resembled Shakespear as Hardison predicted. They did not even type a legible word in English. However, the monkeys did succeed in using the computers as toilets.The chapter titled Agendascience really nails the 'why' behind why so many folks buy evolution, even though evolution is scientifically deficient and based more on philosophy than science.The best point is the whole focus of the book; the author makes the unique point of breaking the tired old 'science versus religion' stalemate by forcing evolution to stand (or fall) on its own. Aside from a belief in God, Sutcliff does not mention religion at all. His arguments are soundly based on the weight of the evidence, not the consensus of the masses. I thought this was a refreshing approach.

What lies and smears?

The book is not about creationism or even a replacement for evolution. That's what makes the book so interesting. Sutcliff, in fact, says that evolution should not be banned. I checked the talk origins site link and it focused heavily on the Bible and creationist stuff, which is not where Sutcliff is coming from.

A closed mind gathers no knowledge.

The page to which I linked is a list of the common arguments used to try to refute the theory of evolution. Most of those arguments are attempts to use science and mathematics to refute the theory of evolution. Sorry if you're not interested in looking at that page very closely -- probably similar to how I feel about looking into Sutcliff's book.People come in here all the time claiming that they (or their favorite author) has disproven the theory of evolution once and for all. So far, they have all failed. I just don't have enough time to read every single book that someone suggests. They have to convince me that it is worth my while. So far, I see nothing that suggests that Sutcliff isn't just repeating the same tired old arguments that everyone has already seen before.Like PaulK, I would like to see whether Sutcliff really does have a good argument. I doubt it, but that is where you can make a difference. Start a thread on what you think is Sutcliff's best argument.

Oh the link to racism is a smear. I suspect from the sources cited we;ll have the old peppered moth "fraud" story again - which is lies and a smear. And the claim that mathematicians physicists and biochemists have shown to be evolution to be bogus is another lie. So that's a few examples for you to be going on with.

More than a little curious....In a Google search for "Red State Publishing," I found 33 listings, no site for the company itself, and almost every listing was someone or other talking about this book. This site, a "review"* of the book, lists the evofraud website as the webite for Red State Publishing.Be honest now. You're the author and you're just looking for a little free pub, right?
_____________________* In particular, I love this bit from the "review:"

Heavily researched, with all 44 sources listed on the book’s Web site at http://www.evofraud.com, Sutcliff spent five years researching and writing the eight-chapter book

---

Wow! In five years, he found 44 whole sources! That is impressive. *chortling*

Uhmmm... you are aware that this has nothing to do with the theory of evolution aren't you?

So the book's a parody of antievolution arguments. If the strongest one you can find is am obvious joke then I think we can all have a good laugh and sadly shake our heads over the difficulty of telling the parody from the reality.

This is just more jokes, isn't it ? It's certainly not true.

I don't know about the google search, but the website was provided in the earlier e-mail. No (LOL!) I did not write the book; I read a lot and was impressed by this approach.
