Portrait of Benjamin Wiker The Darwin Myth: The life and lies of
Charles Darwin
THE DARWIN MYTH: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin is a book on factual and relevant information about the famous naturalist’s life and times (his real and ‘honest’ biography). Although his theory on Natural Selection was considered a threat to the civilized world, Darwin is still perceived as one of the key personalities to have strongly made his share of contribution to modern science. His real life highlights have all truly manifested in him as per his undertaken long voyages on board of the sailing ship, H.M.S Beagle, to lead his in-depth research on plants, insects, animals, and other species found across the globe; namely in the following countries: Tierra Del Fuego, Brazil, Uruguay, The Falkland Islands, Galapagos Islands, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, etc. Benjamin Wiker gives a whole new perspective on why? when? how? Charles Darwin became known as the father of his masterpiece, “Origin of Species”. Wiker gives true facts and information about the people and important personalities who helped Darwin in the process of his journey towards marking his name in the history of mankind. The naturalist's successful display of the evolution of species was the result of his profound studies on: anatomy of different species, transmutationism, Geology, origin of species, evolution of species, natural selection of specific breeds, the doctrine behind natural selection, and, anti-theistic views on the impact of evolution on species. Wiker insists that Darwin’s strong moral convictions on his views about God and about God’s ties to all life-forms on our planet, led him to create a structural concept between science and the world of the theists. Benjamin Wiker is truly magnificent when he stresses on many factual details by demonstrating that the famous naturalist was a man who had lots of moral values with his humility, his fatherly affection for his children, his fulfilling of duties as a perfect husband, his physical traits, his views on the Anglican church and Christianity, and, his influential role in the instating of an ideal known to us as ‘Social Darwinism’. Christianity and Darwinism, atheism and theism, and, Darwinism on scientific, philosophical, moral, and theological grounds—are presented in this book of Benjamin Wiker’s with so much intensity and thoroughness that it concludes without any doubts that Charles Darwin took all, if not, almost all the attributes for his “Origin of Species” to himself, and to himself alone. The biographer also emphasizes on Darwinism and its comparison and contrast to Nazism, The Bible and its ties to the contradictory notions with the creation of human races; and finally, the most admired of Charles Darwin’s literature is presented with a vivid acknowledgment of his much liked Shakespearean masterpieces. Wiker has hereabout provided a concise and complete biography of the naturalist and scientist, Charles Darwin. The Darwin Myth: The life and lies of Charles Darwin is a biography with the picks on minute details left out by previous biographers of the man whose contribution to Geology is quite well-recognized to this present day, and who ironically held a one and only degree, that of a Bachelor of Arts in liberal studies on pre-divinity.
