One of biggest paradigm shifts in origins in recent years is when genetics and morphological studies began to show that Neanderthals and humans weren’t related. Sure, a lot of Darwin Fundies around here don’t know that because they get all of their science from the talking point lists of their Fundamentalist Leaders. So this is probably a big shock too, science is also showing that man is not related to any hominids including apes.
In the groundbreaking book, Who was Adam?, biochemist Fazale Rana examines the scientific research that is overturning Darwinian Fundamentalism. Here, using peer-reviewed research that the Darwin Fundies claim doesn’t exist, Rana shows man is unique and designed.
And he details the latest findings on the fossil record, junk DNA, Neanderthals, human and chimp genetics. There's more science here than most Darwin Fundies have ever read, but this will be the next great paradigm shift.
“The parallels between Genesis and the latest scientific data are profound...” - John A. Bloom, Ph.D., professor of physics, Biola University
On Rana’s previous book, Origins of Life:
“Evolution has just been dealt its deathblow. After reading Origins of Life, it is clear that evolution could not have occurred.” - Richard Smalley, Nobel Laureate, Chemistry, 1996, professor of physics and astronomy, Rice University
Real science by real scientists. According to Darwin Fundies this doesn't exist, but here it is.
Bump for later.
Of course humans aren't apes. DUH!
Junk Science and a feeble attempt at self delusion.
PING!!!!
These scientists need to research some of the trailer parks in my town.
How about researching some Democrats?
I'm convinced....
If you want to be taken seriously, you might consider dropping the term "Darwin Fundie."
By Captain Obvious's egghead brother Professor Obvious.
Religious Student doesn't believe in Darwinism = F in class
Atheist Student doesn't believe in Religion, subscribes to Darwinism = A in class
Religious descrimination at its worst.
Sending kids to public schools will guarantee religious discrimination...take the hint.
Rana and Ross's beliefs blind them to the reality of the scientific knowledge gained over the past 200 years. Their attempt to bring together results from biology, chemistry and geology to show how puzzling the origin of life is, utterly fails. They totally omit major portions of research currently underway with in biochemistry, chemistry, and biology, that show a variety of potential pathways to the emergence of proto-life. In the end, the authors fail to prove their point. Just more supernaturalistic excuses for why there has to be a God.
Are you high?
Everyone has known for years that Humans aren't DESCENDED from Neanderthals, but we're clearly RELATED - two different evolutionary branches, with a common ancestor at some point, of course. Genetic studies have confirmed this.
Do you have any time left in your day after you finish constructing gigantic strawmen?
I think it has a nice ring to it. Darwin Fundi. LOL
Many scientists don't agree on whether Neanderthals were human or not. Glad you have all the answers.
These threads usually descend into insults. It's a shame. And it's a big shame that the poster began the insults by referencing Darwin Fundies. That doesn't help.
But I find it interesting that a number of responses are emphasizing the Darwin Fundy insult and not trying to address the subject matter. This is a serious book, using peer reviewed research, and it's being taken seriously by some major scientists.
Having a hissy fit over name calling seems disingenuous.
It's classic case of Creationists projecting themselves on to evolutionists - I really think they literally believe people sit around reading "Origin of Species" in darkened rooms or something.
Actually a heck of a lot of evolutionists haven't read Origin of Species (as a lot of physicists haven't actually sat down and read Newton's "Principia Mathematica") and Darwin is not a religious figure.
Hey, I resent that remark!!!!
Well, Esau was hairy and a cunning hunter....
