Summary: From Creationist to Evolutionist this is a must read.
Review: Evolution is a proven science. So says the Evolutionist, but is there any hard "observed proof" of the theory. In just 76 pages of reading, this book covers some of the main arguments used to support the "Theory." I did say theory, examine the arguments presented in this book. This reading past all expectations I had. It is time to change the presentation of Evolution as fact to theory. Thank you James Perloff for an outstanding presentation of the Case Against Darwin.

Summary: Not so smart...
Review: I am a christian. I believe in intelligent design. And I must say that this guys writing style is OK. But, his logic is flawed. To defeat a biology theory, you have to first understand biology. The author demonstrates that his knowledge is cursory at best. For instance, the author asks why transitory states of evolution are not visible today? His example, I believe, was why are invertebrates not evolving into fish and so on? Well for those who understand biology, evolution is the selection of beneficial mutations that allow an organism to better survive and leave offspring. The ultimate result of this process is that evolution moves in such a way to cause creatures to occupy new ecological niches. The niche filled by fish in the ecological hierarchy is already filled by a species. So, of course invertebrates wouldn't evolve into fish. Second of all, the author cites many sources, some of them not so credible, but has no primary research. By this I mean, no research he has generated himself. Finally there is the argument about how evil men were all essentially made evil by evolution. No. Look at the common link between the evil men of the world. Hitler. Stalin. Hussein (a creationist). There ilk. They all share a common trait and it isn't belief in evolution. It is the absence of a father as they grew up.

Summary: Darwinism is creation story for atheism
Review: Perloff adds yet another fine book into the origins debate. The author does not attack evolution, he demolishes it by telling the reader more things about evolution than evolutionists want readers to know. Perloff makes the right case and he puts it in the right words to make it accessible for readers young and old. This is an essential read for those wishing to hold their own in casual discussions of the issues surrounding the cultural debate on origins as well as a good self defense primer for those wishing to prevail against the condescending sagecraft and intellectual bully tactics commonly employed by run of the mill neo-Darwinian apologists.

Summary: Perloff does it again
Review: Perloff sets up a strawman with misrepresented facts and hucksterism. I guess since The Ten Commandments failed to include "Thou shalt not lie" Perloff somehow thinks he's getting away with something. It's a real shame that humanity as a whole hasn't evolved enough intelligence to see through this transparent tripe. Boo!

Summary: You gotta be kidding me
Review: This book is a great introduction into the theory of creation. It is a simple read and can easily be completed within a couple of hours but don't let the shortness of it fool you. There is enough information in this book to raise the eyebrows of the most sceptical people. It explains the importance of seperating the proven fact of microevolution from the unproven theory of macroevolution.
Rating: 
Summary: Short and Sweet
Review: This is a short book which is very easy to read. The author is very precise with his arguments and he explains many facts which are unanswered by evolution theory. If you are new to the arguments against evolution, this book will surely raise your eyebrows (even if you don't believe in creation). Perloff also explains the importance of separating microevolution theory from macroevolution theory.

Summary: Short and to the point
Review: Well written. Sure to fuel liveley debate. Perloff does an incredible job of supporting his position with fact, studies and scholarly support while asking legitimate questions that begin to undermine the long held public perception that evolution is fact (beyond theory). He categorically calls into question the legitimacy of evolution, citing the recent advancements in science, and how these discoveries place serious doubt over what at best can be described as an outdated theory (evolution). I find it ironic that reviewers such as "K Meek" and "A Reader from USA" who appear to have a problem with Perloff's conclusions fail to deliver even one shred of logical, scientific, or philosophical support for their contempt at how Perloff clearly presents the facts. The irony being that Perloff at least gave Darwin a chance to defend himself, as he accumulates three strikes at the plate (the continuing baseball analogy used in this delightful read).
