The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design

By: Jonathan Wells Ph.D

Narrated by: Tom Weiner

The latest and most bitterly contested battle in the culture war is the controversy over Darwin and intelligent design. But much of what you've heard about it is wrong. Jonathan Wells, a battle-hardened veteran with doctorates in biology and theology, sets the record straight.

In clear, non-technical language, he explains who is fighting whom, the root of the conflict, and the evidence for and against Darwinism and intelligent design. He also explains what is ultimately at stake for liberals and conservatives, Christians and non-Christians, educators, policymakers, and scientists.

Solid Cases Against Evolution

This book basically explains why evolutionists give this book 1 star. Dr. Wells shows that the best scientific evidence, far from supporting Darwinism, actually supports intelligent design. The theory of evolution is fundamentally and fatally flawed even scandalously exaggerated and anyone wanting to have a serious debate is silenced, so says Dr. Wells.


Narration is adequate, information is very good and has plenty of citations to back it.

Excellent...but with a couple minor issues

In-depth exploration of evolutionary science through the lenses of Darwinism and ID, as well as the political circus surrounding them. Some early chapters include scientific jargon that may be off-putting for many readers, even those well-versed in biological fields. Also, there are a few instances of poor editing of the narration (narration itself is great!). But, power through these issues to get the real facts about evolution in this well-written book!

You need to read this

A great explanation of the difference between Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism. It allows the reader to understand that there is a difference, that none of the theories have been proven, and that there is far from any kind of universal acceptance by scientists, despite what is frequently taught in schools or proclaimed in popular culture.

Good Summary of the Issues

This book was very interesting and it summarized many of the pertinent issues. I have read many other books and articles on this topic, therefore, I am aware of the nuances concerning important points that the author did not have time to cover in detail. A reader new to the subject may miss these points. Before reading this book, I would recommend "The Edge of Evolution" By Micheal Behe.

Calling a spade a spade

Not only does this lay out the Creationist vs Darwinism vs Intelligent Design conflict clearly and simply, but is is also a treasure-trove of sources.
