Synopsis

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 "design 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 design intuition scientifically valid. Lastly, he uses everyday experience to empower ordinary people to defend their design 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.

Goodreads review by Douglas

Glorious book, and glorious on multiple levels. Axe writes engagingly, he knows his science up and down, and he blows no sunshine. Really good.......more

There's a word I tend to over use a lot to describe books and that is..."interesting". Well, this book is interesting. As Christians (and for that matter most Theists) we tend to spend (in my opinion of course) way too much time debating an argument usually stated as "evolution vs. creation". The pro......more

Goodreads review by Don

Douglas Axe is a heretic. He's a molecular biologist who did his doctoral work at Caltech and went on to postdoctoral work at the University of Cambridge. As such, he can't be dismissed as some uneducated Bible thumping Luddite. Axe is arguing that evolutionary science is closed to any other explanat......more

Goodreads review by Barton

Published in 2016, this is one of the best books I have read on Intelligent Design…as an explanation for the vast diversity we see in the natural world…having very original thinking and excellent writing. Douglas Axe is a PhD in biochemistry, and worked in the prestigious Laboratory of Molecular Bi......more
