What Darwin Didn't Know - 9780736936729

Plot

Geoffrey Simmons, M.D. describes over 80 examples of purposeful design in the human body that defy explanation by the Darwinian process of chance mutation and natural selection. It's written for the layman and includes helpful drawings, diagrams and photos to illustrate Simmons¿ points. At the end of the preface, Simmons states that he once asked Carl Sagan why he thought humans could have developed into such complex beings through mere evolution. Sagan's answer simply stated, was "six billion years." Simmons concludes "I thought he was wrong then, and I know he's wrong now." He then ends the book claiming "I am not a theologian, nor do I pretend to be. I'm merely a collector and analyzer of biological and medical facts. The data, as I see it, points directly to an Intelligent Designer, much like a car speaks for an automaker, a soufflé for a chef, and a play for a playwright. Alternative explanations may yet be found or proposed, but the theory of evolution cannot satisfy what the facts demand."
