Pillars Of Evolution

This book provides a perspective on adaptive evolution.

Pillars of Evolution provides a fresh and provocative perspective on adaptive evolution. Readers new to the study of evolution will find a refreshing new insight that establishes evolutionary biology as a rigorous and predictive science, whilst practicing biologists will discover a provocative book that challenges traditional approaches. The book begins by leading readers through the mechanics of heredity, reproduction, movement, survival, and development. With that framework in place, it then explores the numerous ways that traits emerge from the interactions between genetics, development, and the environment. The key message is that adaptive changes in traits (and their underlying allelic frequencies) evolve through the traits' functions and their connection with fitness. The complex mappings from genes-to-traits-to-fitness are characterized in the structure of evolution. A single "structure matrix" describes why individuals vary in the values of adaptive traits, their ability to perform the function of those traits, and in the fitness they accrue. Fitness depends on how organisms interact with and perceive their environment in time and space. These relationships are made explicit in spatial, temporal, and organizational scale that also sets the stage for the crucially important role that ecology always plays in evolution. The ecological hallmarks of density- and frequency-dependent interactions allow the authors to explore new and exciting insights into evolution's dynamics. The theories and principles are then brought together in a final synthesis on adaptation. The book's unique approach unites genetic, development, and environmental influences into a single comprehensive treatment of the eco-evolutionary process.

The three pillars of evolution, defined as progression from simple molecules to humans, are the origin of life and genetic damage called mutations selected by natural selection. Dr. Bergman documents that the peer reviewed scientific literature has demolished these central pillars of evolution, specifically the origin of life from non-life and the source of genetic variety called mutations honed by natural selection. As genetic research of life has been shown to be increasingly more complex, life from nonlife by natural means is now no longer feasible. Furthermore, most all mutations are partly or wholly deleterious and natural selection serves primarily to reduce the deterioration of life, not evolve life to greater levels of complexity as evolution postulates. In short. the naturalistic evolutionary theory first expounded by Charles Darwin has been falsified by scientific research.

This text changes the conceptual hierarchy between biology and evolution, providing new insights into biology and philosophy. It introduces the science of 'evology' and defines its six core themes of mechanics, dynamics, pattern, structure, function and scale.

Documents the fact that the peer reviewed scientific evidence has falsified Darwinian evolution. Challenges the common beliefs about the evidence for evolution by logic and research. The first book, titled The Three Major Pillars of Darwinism Demolished, has falsified abiogenesis (the origin of life itself from non-life) mutations as the ultimate source of all genetic variety, and natural selection, which culls that variety to produce all life on Earth. This volume evaluated other major ‘evidences’ for Darwinian evolution, which have also been refuted by empirical science. These minor pillars are convergent evolution, homology, endosymbiosis, and the antibiotic resistance claim for evolution. It also shows the attempts to refute the irreducible complexity problem have failed and, likewise, co-option cannot explain the evolution of complex features seen in the natural world. In short, an objective review of the published peer-reviewed evidence in secular scientific journals has falsified Darwinian evolution.

Experimental approaches to evolution provide indisputable evidence of evolution by directly observing the process at work. Experimental evolution deliberately duplicates evolutionary processes—forcing life histories to evolve, producing adaptations to stressful environmental conditions, and generating lineage splitting to create incipient species. This unique volume summarizes studies in experimental evolution, outlining current techniques and applications, and presenting the field’s full range of research—from selection in the laboratory to the manipulation of populations in the wild. It provides work on such key biological problems as the evolution of Darwinian fitness, sexual reproduction, life history, athletic performance, and learning.

All of these statements are false: Christians are science-deniers when it comes to evolution. Real science actually lines up more with evolution than creation as found in Genesis. Fossils are evidence for evolution. The Genesis account is fully compatible with evolution. These questions need answers! What exactly is the difference between evolution right and evolution wrong? Is it possible to bend Genesis to fit evolution? How can one defend belief in a six-day creation from the onslaughts of the evolutionists? How about any questions you have? This book is a must for any Christian about to enter a public high school or university. Accepting evolution as true is the basis for three of the ten reasons Christians give up saving faith. It is time for you to arm yourself with the truth and stand your ground logically, philosophically, scientifically, and most important biblically! Ready? Let's go!
