Natures I.Q.: Extraordinary Animal Behaviors That Defy Evolution [Hardcover]

Here is my foreword to this beautiful book.

Foreword

Nature's IQ is a beautiful book. The pictures are beautiful, the words are
beautiful, the ideas are beautiful. As one goes through the pages of Nature's IQ, one is confronted with one example after another of the
delicate organic and behavioral complexity of living things. This
complexity is so stunning that before Darwin most scientists were prepared
to believe that it could be explained only by appealing to an intelligent
designer, God. The few who did not like the idea of such a designer could present no credible alternative. When he published his Origin of Species,Darwin gave such scientists hope that the wonderful complexity of living things could be explained without appealing to an intelligent designer. He proposed that biological complexity and diversity could possibly be explained by variations in populations of living things. Only the living things possessing the variations that made them fitter than others would survive in nature. Thus variation and natural selection, proposed Darwin,could explain the diversity and complexity of living things. One hundred and fifty years later, this promise has failed to come true. Scientists have come to understand that the principal source of variety in living things resides in their genes. Change in physical form and behavior is thus rooted in the genes of living things. Genetic change is the source of variation. But to this day, scientists are unable to specify the exact series of genetic changes necessary to produce the marvelously complex organic structures and behaviors illustrated in this beautiful book.Nature's IQ confronts us with many wonders of nature that Darwinists have failed to explain in any strictly scientific fashion. They simply ask us to believe that somehow or other it all happened by evolution. The authors of Nature's IQ give us good reasons to no longer accept Darwinian fairy tales as actual explanations. They demonstrate to us that truly scinetific explanations have
not been given, and that in principle they cannot be given. They breathe
new life into the design argument in biology, particularly in regard to the complex behaviors displayed by many living things. These complex behaviors involve many behavioral steps, linked in specific sequences. Without all the parts of the behavior being present in proper sequence, the behavior would not be executed. We can thus say that not only biological form but biological behavior can be irreducibly complex. That means these behaviors cannot have arisen in the step by step fashion that evolution requires. Thus biological behavior also provides evidence of intelligent design. This book is bound to become a classic, taking its place alongside the works of Michael Behe and William Dembski in the modern intelligent design movement.

Author Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory

Nature is full of wonders. The authors present a hundred examples of very intricate behavioral patterns found in the animal kingdom that suggest, or even prove, that someone must have 'programmed' these animals with careful consideration.
Not only are the examples mind boggling, they are also illustrated with stunning pictures.
