Pożegnanie z Darwinem. Zagorzały agnostyk odkrywa teorię inteligentnego projektu Neil Thomas Seria Perspektywy Nauki Wyd. Fundacja En Arche Profesor Neil Thomas był oddanym darwinistą, przekonanym, że jedynie biblijni fundamentaliści i kreacjoniści kwestionują teorię ewolucji. Jego postawa uległa zachwianiu, kiedy odkrył, że przeciw twierdzeniom Darwina występowali już dziewiętnastowieczni uczeni, a dzisiaj czyni to także wielu naukowców z uznanym dorobkiem akademickim. Thomas przeprowadził analizę argumentów przemawiających za teorią ewolucji i przeciw niej. Zaskakujące wnioski tej analizy przedstawił w Pożegnaniu z Darwinem. Thomas demaskuje dogmatyczny i niemal sekciarski charakter wielu debat poświęconych teorii ewolucji, jednocześnie przedstawiając wpływowych przeciwników teorii Darwina, których nazwiska są niemal nieznane opinii publicznej. Wyjaśnia kluczowe zarzuty stawiane darwinistom i podkreśla, że nadal nie zostały one odparte. Jak brzmi wniosek autora? Teoria inteligentnego projektu jest obecnie najrozsądniejszym wyjaśnieniem pochodzenia różnorodności form życia.

University professor Neil Thomas was a committed Darwinist and agnostic-until an investigation of evolutionary theory led him to a startling conclusion: "I had been conned!" As he studied the work of Darwin's defenders, he found himself encountering tactics eerily similar to the methods of political brainwashing he had studied as a scholar. Thomas felt impelled to write a book as a sort of warning call to humanity: "Beware! You have been fooled!" The result is Taking Leave of Darwin, a wide-ranging history of the evolution debate. Thomas uncovers many formidable Darwin opponents that most people know nothing about, ably distills crucial objections raised early and late against Darwinism, and shows that those objections have been explained away but never effectively answered. Thomas's deeply personal conclusion? Intelligent design is not only possible but, indeed, is presently the most reasonable explanation for the origin of life's great diversity of forms.
