Icons of evolution 1of9 Critical Analysis - ExtantDodo

BANNED vids You-Tube. Extantdodo provides a point by point debunk of the Discovery Institutes misinformation video Icons of Evolution. Originally a controversial book by the intelligent design advocate and fellow of the Discovery Institute, Jonathan Wells, followed up by this 2002 video. The icons were summarized in his December 2000/January 2001 of the American Spectator article. In the book, Wells criticized the paradigm of evolution by attacking how it is taught.

Several of the scientists whose work is sourced in the book have written rebuttals to Wells, stating that they were quoted out of context, that their work has been misrepresented, or that it does not imply Wells' conclusions.]

Many in the scientific community have strongly criticised the book and its claims that schoolchildren are deliberately misled and its conclusions as to the evidentiary status of the theory of evolution, which is considered by biologists to be the central unifying paradigm of biology. Kevin Padian and Alan D. Gishlick wrote a review in Quarterly Review of Biology of Wells' Icons comparing Wells to Tom Ripley, noting "In our view, regardless of Wells’s religious or philosophical background, his Icons of Evolution can scarcely be considered a work of scholarly integrity."Gishlick wrote a more detailed critique for the National Center for Science Education in his article "Icon of Evolution? Why much of what Jonathan Wells writes about evolution is wrong"[7]. Nick Matzke of talk.origins reviewed Wells' work in the article Icon of Obfuscation, and Wells responded with an A Response to Published Reviews (2002).

Regarding 5:15 This is what I see over and over and over and over and over "there is no evidence, there is no controversy in the scientific community" Who made up the story of the 100 plus scientists who didn't really publish a statement that they were not on board with Darwinian evolution's explaination of the complexity of life? Can you say head in the sand?
