Product Description:
Had evolutionists been in charge, they wouldn't have made the mosquito, planetary orbits would align perfectly, and the human eye would be better designed. But they tend to gloss over their own failed predictions and faulty premises. Naturalists see Darwin's theories as 'logical' and that's enough. To think otherwise brands you a heretic to all things wise and rational. Science's Blind Spot takes the reader on an enlightening journey through the ever-evolving theory of evolution. Cornelius G. Hunter goes head-to-head with those who twist textbooks, confuse our children, and reject all challengers before they can even speak. This fascinating, fact-filled resource opens minds to nature in a way that both seeks and sees the intelligent design behind creation's masterpieces.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Solid method of scientific approach
Ignore the individuals who either don't read the book and comment, or read it and don't understand the science anyway. This book is a solid historical approach detailing the cultural and moral pathways leading to the current cultural climate in realms of academia. He addresses easily verified facts, countless references to works from all walks of life, and does a great job of separating rationlism from scientific empiricism. An excellent read for those with the intellect to grip it and the willingness ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting discussion about Scientific Naturalism
This was an interesting book but somehow lacking a complete focus. The author is clearly a learned scientist with a good knowledge of the history of science but in his discussion about the basis of scientific naturalism and the failings of evolution his alternative, the Intelligent Design theory, was never really explained and it left the book feeling incomplete.
This could have been another evolution-bashing book but instead it approached the subject in a rather novel manner, suggesting that ... Read More
Rating: - Science or Religion? You decide . . .
If you ever suspected that the ideas underlying modern evolutionary theory lean toward being theological in nature, you should read this book. And if you tend toward a theistic worldview you might be surprised at the source of contemporary "theological naturalism", as Hunter terms the problem of modern science. Well researched and fair in his approach to describing the problem facing modern origins science, Hunter also offers a solution--one which all but the most dogmatic on either side of the origins spectrum ...

Rating: - Understanding why they can't see
This book helped me understand why Scientific Naturalists are blinded to seeing anything other than thier way. They say Theists are the one's who are not open minded, but if you a priori exclude even the merest hint of even the slightest possibility of a different paradigm, then how are you any more enlightened?
Rating:  - Clever but exaggerated argument against scientism and an unneccessary "bridge" to theology
From my perspective, this was pretty much the usual fare for ID books. Clever and well reasoned but built from misleading premises and false representations of the opposition.
The argument as I discerned it:
1. Argue for the limits of scientific naturalism as a source of human flourishing and its failure with non-causal relations in human life,
2. Argue that scientism is alive and well and that there is a hoard of people trying to make science into our grand religion, or ... Read More
