About Billions Of Missing Links: A Rational Look At The
Product Description Dr. Geoffrey Simmons focuses on the millions of structures and systems on the Earth that came about all at once, entire...with no preceding links, no subsequent links, no "sideways" links. To illustrate, he surveys examples like... the hummingbird and its circulatory system insects and insect-eating plants the role of the thousands of species of viruses chemical signals and the sensory apparatus that detects them the self-regulating capacity of the Earth's ocean/air/soil system It's clear: Nature containsonly leaps, not links. Only the intelligence and purpose of an all-powerful Designer can explain the intricate creatures, connections, and "coincidences" everywhere. Excellent for students and parents, especially homeschoolers, and for educators who want to present the "full picture." Review "Geoffrey Simmons has written a wonderful book. His writing is clear and accessible to the nonspecialist. The idea is stunningly simple--just describe the complexity and almost infinite variety of our world and leave the reader to draw their own conclusions. "Children will love the descriptions of insects and animals like the bombardier beetle, the wombat, and the platypus, which seem to be the product of a rich and humorous imagination--designed with trivial pursuit in mind, one might think. But the serious objective of the book will engage any open mind." -- John Patrick, MD, Professor of the History of Science, Medicine, and Faith, Augustine College, Ottawa, Ontario "Geoffrey Simmons brings the fresh eye of a trained physician to examine the long-standing controversy over Darwin's theory of evolution...He shows there are good reasons for...considering a radically new understanding of the nature and origin of life. A well-researched and open-minded analysis." -- Stephen C. Meyer, PhD; Director of the Center for Science and Culture, Discovery Institute From the Author There are essentially three religions or belief systems: One that believes life is a product of Design (or Design-guided) and usually that's a single God; one that believes an incredibly dense speck exploded for no reason at all (long ago) and accidentally made life as we know it through billions of lucky changes (and without transition steps), or one belongs to the I don't know/don't care group. The complexity upon complexity in all life systems and the presence of exponentially increasing numbers of missing links as science marches on decimates the faith in an exploding speck within a vacuum of nothingness forming anything. The argument is not with "science" itself or with survival of the fittest or natural selection but with Darwin's notions that species can actually change into other species. It is now very clear, they cannot. About the Author Dr. Geoffrey Simmons has studied the human body and evolutionary theory for more than 40 years. He received his M.D. in 1969 and now practices medicine in Oregon. In 2006 he became a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute. A director of Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity, Dr. Simmons has authored nine books, including What Darwin Didn't Know and Billions of Missing Links.
