'Evolution's Fatal Flaw: The Inevitable Consequence of the Need to Ensure
Species Survival': New Book Challenges Creationist Beliefs and Warns of the
Dangerous Results of Human Evolution
LACEY, Wash., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The evolution controversy rages hot as
ever, with aggressive initiatives from popular secular scientists and
best-selling authors like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins in fighting
deep-seated religious beliefs of Creationism and Intelligent Design. But
according to Lawrence Wood, author of "Evolution's Fatal Flaw: The Inevitable
Consequence of the Need to Ensure Species Survival" (published by iUniverse),
evolutionists have failed to address evolution's critical "fatal flaw."
Wood takes a unique approach in "Evolution's Fatal Flaw," explaining both the
science and historical development behind evolution as a means of
understanding the world. "Some of the most perplexing questions concerning
people today are 'Where do we come from?' and 'Where are we going?'" says
Wood. "The latter question is perhaps the most important."
Wood focuses on eight Gallup Polls that list approximately 40 percent of
Americans as believing in Creationism, 40 percent in Intelligent Design and 20
percent in Evolution as the origin of species. Discover why three drastically
different human origin explanations still exist, and follow Wood's meticulous
blend of facts and reasoning to conclusively rule out Biblical and religious
explanations of origin and support evolution. The author also describes the
historical phases leading up to the discovery of evolution, as well as social
and cultural reasons why some might reject the strong evidence that favors
evolution.
So, what is evolution's "fatal flaw"? "Evolution has been too successful,"
says Wood. Evolution's solution to ensuring a species' survival - sexual
desire and reproduction - has led to population explosions. While strong
sexual desire cannot be reduced, there are readily available means for
reducing its effects. Wood writes:
Unfortunately, the principal driver of reproductive genetic mixing is
an occasionally overriding desire for sexual activity, also provided
by evolution's natural selection filter. While the overwhelming desire
for sexual activity cannot be realistically controlled, there are
readily available means for preventing the results of sexual activity
from producing too many offspring. If we are unable and/or unwilling
to exercise this option, the devastating population growth plaguing
the earth today will continue and, as mentioned above, ultimately doom
evolution's greatest achievement [life].
About the Author: Lawrence Wood became interested in the area of science
history while working on his MS and PhD in physics at the University of
Alabama. Wood has worked as a product development manager for companies like
NASA and helped develop a sophisticated military electronic system that many
said could not be built. He now resides in Lacey, Wash., and enjoys hiking,
cycling, kayaking, skiing, traveling and the occasional opera.
