Product Description

This thought-provoking book questions fundamentally some of the foundation stones of Darwinism, which have become almost scientific 'givens' in recent years. Using detailed biological arguments and his own intricate knowledge of anatomy gained through training and work as a doctor, Antony Latham challenges the suggestion that the flora and fauna of the world in which we live have come about through a series of astonishingly unlikely mutations. The author differentiates between micro-evolution, for which there is indisputable evidence, and macro-evolution. The former simply involves the reorganisation of existing DNA to bring about adaptations which are clearly to a creature's advantage. The latter claims to involve the introduction of completely new DNA in evolutionary change; it is this premise that he takes head on. In doing this he also looks in fascinating detail at the fossil record.

Review
"In the Naked Emperor Dr Antony Latham showcases the powerful scientific argument that the universe and life were purposely designed. His deconstruction of Richard Dawkins' reasoning is made even more compelling by the fairness and moderation of his critique." Michael Behe, Professor of Biochemistry, Lehigh University, USA. Author of Darwin's Black Box."For the past hundred years Darwinian evolution has sustained the edifice of western secular thought with its promise of a naturalistic explanation for the infinite variety and diversity of life. But for how much longer? Antony Latham's lucid account of the current scientific challenges to Darwinian orthodoxy promises a revolution for biology and a profound reassessment of man's place in the cosmos." James le Fanu, Columnist, Daily Telegraph."I have met clever people who cunningly argue that black is white. They lead me through a bewilderment of causes and effects, all entirely logical, before triumphantly proclaiming that black must indeed be white. I am left gapingly wondering which sequence was faulty in moving the argument from A to B, or Z. So why, if I find the existence of a creator just one step harder than the non-existence of any such entity, am I bothering to review this book? The answer is that is well done. The research, is good. The quotes are widespread, and the writing acceptable. All manner of relevant arguments are packed within it. Very soon black does equal white, and Darwin is without clothing, as many have suspected all along." Anthony Smith, The Galton Institute."I would agree and expect that a widespread collapse of Darwinism is inevitable in the not-too-distant future. The Naked Emperor cradles a wealth of information supporting this prediction." Dr Wayne Frair, Journal of Creation.

Paul Johnson, The Spectator, August 27 2005
The indictment of Dawkins' scientific scholarship is powerful, masterly and (I would say) unanswerable.
