At the risk of rousing the ire of the orthodox evolutionists, allow me to
suggest just one title that is necessary reading for anyone with a sincere
desire for scientific truth, a book that presents scientific evidence
unbiased by religion. If museum professionals take seriously their role as
educators, then they ought to perhaps try to look deeply into the theory of
evolution and not simply accept it as it is handed down from the "scientific
community." The book is called "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael J. Behe,
published by Free Press(Simon & Schuster), New York.

Behe is a microbiologist. Basically the book lays out a number of recent
scientific developments that can not be reconciled to Darwin's model and
highlights the scientific community's reluctance to let go of their
preconceptions.

How is it that we, moving into the 21st century, will so easily accept the
simplistic science of a nineteenth century Englishman? The world of
microbiology is vastly more complex than evolution can explain, and no
pop-scientists are willing to address the obstacles Behe lays out, such as
the irreducibility of a complex micro-chemical machine, such as is needed
for vision or blood-clotting---essential to "evolved" life.

Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded. I just think it is high time that
educated people start questioning the beliefs they so vehemently defend,
just as they propose creationists ought to do.
