Undeniable

"In this engaging book, Axe uses ‘common science‘ to consider the biggest mystery: To what or to whom do we owe our existence?" (Dean Koontz). A World Magazine Best Book of the Year Throughout his distinguished and unconventional career, engineer-turned-molecular-biologist Douglas Axe has been asking the questions that much of the scientific community would rather silence. Now, he presents his conclusions in this brave and pioneering book. Axe argues that the key to understanding our origin is the " intuition"-the innate belief held by all humans that tasks we would need knowledge to accomplish can only be accomplished by someone who has that knowledge. For the ingenious task of inventing life, this knower can only be God. Starting with the hallowed halls of academic science, Axe dismantles the widespread belief that Darwin‘s theory of evolution is indisputably true, showing instead that a gaping hole has been at its center from the beginning. He then explains in plain English the science that proves our intuition scientifically valid. Lastly, he uses everyday experience to empower ordinary people to defend their intuition, giving them the confidence and courage to explain why it has to be true and the vision to imagine what biology will become when people stand up for this truth. Armed with that confidence, readers will affirm what once seemed obvious to all of us-that living creatures, from single-celled cyanobacteria to orca whales and human beings, are brilliantly conceived, utterly beyond the reach of accident. Our intuition was right all along. "Douglas Axe‘sUndeniableis bold, insightful and world-changing. It‘s also a joy to read. I recommend it highly!" -Phillip E. Johnson, Professor Emeritus of Law at U. C. Berkeley and author ofDarwin on Trial "An important addition to the debate on the origins of life. It provides a middle way between religious and scientific explanations of how life began. A must-read for everyone who is interested in the origins of our universe." -The Washington Book Review
