"The world of science faces the biggest challenge yet to one of its
most basic beliefs: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. An authoritative
compilation of scientific findings."
Neville Hodgkinson
The Sunday Times
"Richard Milton's "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism" . . .
could shake the "religion" of evolution as much as "Honest to
God" shook popular Christianity 30 years ago."
Leader Column
The Times
"Milton . . . utters some important warnings. We ignore them at our
peril."
Julia Neuberger
The Sunday Times
"In his popular book "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism",
journalist Richard Milton shows Darwinism as a crumbling edifice, supported
only by a conservative scientific establishment."
Matthew Cockerill
The Daily Telegraph
"One of Richard Milton's chief purposes is to argue that, in the
absence of sufficient scientific evidence, Darwinism should not continue to be
taught in schools and universities as though it were holy writ. In this he
succeeds admirably."
James Rogers
Literary Review
"I am glad that a new book (by an agnostic) has just been published
which brings together much of the evidence against neo- Darwinism. Bang goes
the empirical basis on which neo-Darwinism rests."
Bishop Hugh Montefiore
The Church Times
"Shattering the Myths of Darwinism" -- as well as being agreeably
readable -- punctures the myth more effectively than anybody has done
before."
Brian Inglis
The Irish Independent
"Milton's immensely readable book dispels many of Darwin's theories,
not least of all his idea of 'the survival of the fittest'."
Trisha Fermor
The Courier
"If a religious creationist had written it, no one would have paid
attention. But Milton is a professional science writer and well informed on
what is going on in the departments of geology and old bones."
John Michell
The Oldie
"To those fed up with the atheistic reductionism of certain Darwinists
the book may come as an answer to prayer, especially as Milton claims no
religious beliefs."
Michael B. Roberts
Church of England Newspaper
"The cover has a picture of a shattered Darwin, and with a passing
reference to Marxism, the book attempts to consign Charles to the same dustbin
as Karl. Here there is a valid point: 'Ideological Darwinism has replaced
scientific Darwinism in our educational system'."
E. G. Nisbet
Nature
"When a reputable science correspondent of more than 20 years'
experience, who does not claim to be religious, raises serious doubts, then it
is time to sit up and listen."
Challenge
"On subject after subject: methods of dating, the fossil record,
microbiology, geology, etc., Milton shows the inadequacy of the evidence for
Darwinian evolution."
"Milton's criticism of evolution does not spring from religious or
philosophical pre-suppositions, he is simply convinced that evolution is
scientifically unsupportable."
Simon Ladd
Alpha Magazine
"Charles Darwin? Outmoded. Evolution? A myth. Not the usual assertions
of a fundamentalist from the bible belt, but those of a disciple of the
scientific method. And based on scientific arguments."
[Translation]
Enrico Verdecchia
Panorama
"Richard Milton . . . presents a vigorous refutation of neo- Darwinism
based entirely on the evidence of science."
"Backed by his experience as engineer and science journalist, and
inspired by an interest in geology and palaeontology, he explains his doubts
and difficulties with the general theory of evolution in a lucid,
non-technical and very readable style."

"There are three main reasons that "Shattering the Myths of
Darwinism" seems poised to make unprecedented inroads into the Darwinist
camp. First, Milton makes an absolutely devastating case, leaving not a stone
upon a stone of the received evolutionist credo. Secondly, he puts his case
against evolution with the calmness and confidence of a man who is justifiably
sure of his facts and with the modest clarity of a debater who knows that his
arguments hold water and need no rhetorical flourishes but only lucid
exposition to prevail. And thirdly, he disarms the knee-jerk reaction his
opinions are likely to excite from disciples of the scientific establishment
by reassuring them that he has no wish to reinstate the Book of Genesis."
