"Masterpiece ... incredible
... of immense value ... enormous contribution to creationism ... evokes
any number of superlatives."
"Superb, even better than
superb."
"The Biotic Message, a bold
and fascinating attempt to state a
comprehensive theory, the short
of which is that life is designed to convey a message that life is the
product of a single designer -- as opposed to multiple designers or evolution.
The thesis itself is exciting,
and the argument for it provides a fresh
perspective on a number of specific issues pertaining to evolution."
.... "Original, and stimulating to the mind, and
very thoroughly worked out. ... Well worth the money."
"It's an impressive
work."
"Brilliant
book"
"This is not a book for the faint-hearted -- over 500
pages of solid text full of deep and technical analysis. But it is unique
and outstanding. ReMine's genius in this
book is to give us an enlightening focus on the 'whole picture'. .... ReMine's
approach is much superior. .... ReMine has build a
powerful foundation for a scientific case against evolution. He has also
added some fine pieces of superstructure. It is a
marvelous achievement. .... ReMine's book itself is very well-produced,
with helpful footnotes and a good index. .... the enormity of ReMine's
achievement. I can give no greater accolade than urging that this book
should now be the starting point for all of our discussions."
"Voluminous, well-written,
thoroughly researched and beautifully bound.
ReMine's bibliography and text references read like a who's who
of pro-evolutionary icons with names like Darwin, Gould, Lewin, Lewontin,
Futuyma, Strahler, Dobzhansky, Haldane, Crick, and even Skinner, Sagan
and Hawking. The author quotes these scientists at length, critiques them
and uses the research of one to contradict the other. ReMine is persuasive
and challenging."
"I'd like to add my enthusiastic appreciation of Walter
ReMine's book. I'd also like to strongly encourage everyone to request
your library to purchase a copy. Anyone affiliated with a university, ask
the university library to order it. Additionally, request that your local
public library get a copy. .... I believe the book is an extremely
valuable addition to the intelligent design literature and
deserves a wide readership.
The main reason for my enthusiasm is that Walter presents arguments
in his book that, so far as I know, have not been presented anywhere else.
He particularly shows that principles of population genetics work strongly
against evolutionary theory. I myself was floored by his discussion showing
that the sickle cell gene actively works through natural selection to exclude
a more efficient mutant, HbC from gaining a foothold in malaria-prone populations.
The reason I was astounded is that I did my thesis on sickle cell hemoglobin
and I never thought of or read of the connection that Walter made. As far
as Message Theory goes, in the book Walter does a
great job of explaining it. The theory appears to be original,
defensible, and scientific. Is it true? It very well could be,
as far as I can see, and I look forward to a discussion of it."
"Walter ReMine's The Biotic Message is the
most significant book in the creation/evolution debate to be published
in this past decade. While creationists today rejoice when others
make clear the fact that the living world is the result of intelligent
design, Walter has gone far beyond that to show there is an unmistakable
message within that design. That message condemns evolution in any form
and is the ultimate truth to defeat the New Age thinking already now in
many churches."
"For those interested in an exhaustive
research on the problems that the theory of evolution faces,
and an alternative theory that postulates a creator who has designed every
living thing, this book adequately covers the subject. It is an
incredible contribution to creation understanding, and a blow
to evolution. Others have written against evolution have praised this book
as a masterpiece of comprehensiveness
on the subject. ReMine explores every theory of evolution, pointing out
the fallacies; he evaluates the fossil record, biology, embryology, cosmology,
and other facets of the subject. His creation views are not from a Biblical
perspective, but from a scientific
investigation. Yet, what he concludes is consonant with what the Bible
teaches as to God's creation account in Genesis. This should
be a standard addition to anyone's library that studies this
continuing controversy."
"A comprehensive
disclosure of the fundamental differences that separate creationists
and evolutionists. A substantial contribution
to origins literature."
"ReMine's thoughtful treatment offers one
of the most difficult challenges evolutionists have faced in some time."
"ReMine does not neglect some of the hottest potatoes of the biological
origins debate. He deals with the important issue of whether science is
necessarily naturalistic. He tackles embryology, vestigial organs, and
the illusion of fossil sequence and how this issue relates to message theory.
There are also excellent sections on biogeography, cosmology and population
genetics. Each topic comes under the knife of ReMine's sharp blade of logic.
His surgery produces a beneficial readjustment of the reader's thinking,
and settles all fear that creationism has no answer for evolution's most
virulent challenges to the idea of a Creator. What's more, the author's
treatment of each subject rests consistently within his unique model, thereby
strengthening his primary thesis as well as each of its details. Simply
put, ReMine's model and explanations work. ...
suitable for the public classroom."
"[A] rather large and monumental
book, an imposing amount of information
from various fields of interest to evolutionists and creationists. But
ReMine confines his selection of the many quotations in the book almost
entirely to evolutionists, exhibiting how their own data and conclusions
fit with his message theory. .... [T]horoughly
documented, and the text is spaced
well for easy reading. Footnotes are copious. .... Even though this book
can be of value to specialists in various fields of science, I still think
its main "messages" will be intelligible to those without strong backgrounds
in science. .... [T]he idea is original
with ReMine, it merits serious consideration
over an extended period of time. [A] vanguard
type of book - a daring attempt... I hope that the book, heavy
as it is, will be read widely and discussed frequently. I predict the main
"truths" in this text will triumph in time."
"This book is an original,
valuable contribution to creationist thought, especially in
the area of biology. .... ReMine says that he pursued the hobby of magic
(illusion) for many years and that this prepared him well for the job of
exposing evolutionary illusions. He does this masterfully
as illusion after evolutionary illusion is exposed. .... At
every turn, ReMine shows how evolutionary theory predicts nothing, ....
ReMine does a masterful job of exposing
the fallacy that population genetics supports evolutionary ideas. ....
The evolutionary literature is thoroughly reviewed and critiqued. ReMine
understands evolutionary theory better than most evolutionists. The book
will inspire those who read it that
biology only makes sense in light of creation. .... The volume is beautifully
produced with good quality paper and binding. This is a book
that should be read by anyone interested in the
big picture, and especially biology. It is a
landmark volume with many original insights"
"Walter ReMine has a grasp of the many aspects of evolution.
He speaks knowledgeably about the fossil record, genetics, phenetics, cladistics,
biology, and many other topics related to evolution theory. .... ReMine's
method is compelling.
He quotes no authors except confirmed evolutionists and shows their
arguments to be lacking in force."
"This book will be used widely in creation circles.
.... Genius of the book is both its comprehensiveness
and its simplicity. It is not
difficult to read even when the author
gets into technicalities."
"Characterized as 'a revolution in a book,' I find
Walter ReMine's The Biotic Message to be at once the
most original and erudite refutation of evolutionary theory in decades.
This college-level textbook is profound
without being abstruse; copiously documented
without being tedious; convincing
without being coercive; and thoroughly moral without being 'religious.'
Here is a testable theory of creation that challenges all the classic evidences
of biological evolution in a refreshing
and exciting
presentation. The Biotic Message belongs
in every collection of scientific books."
"[This book] could be as significant
as Darwin's. I truly mean that."
"[It] should help persuade the intelligent layman
that there is a great deal more to anti-evolutionism than Bible-Belt intransigence."
We "recommend"
The Biotic Message, a "scholarly
work full of footnotes ... based on solid scientific research by recognized
experts in various fields."
"The [Biotic Message] will assist any Christian student survive and even flourish in the biology departments of our nation's colleges and universities-both secular and Christian, and we have the testimony of countless Summit students using these types of materials to prove it." The article lists
The Biotic Message number one in a list of 17 recommended books.
You are welcome to send your comments too.
The Biotic Message is a book of outstanding
quality. As a avid student of the creation and evolution
controversy, I have never found a book
from a creationist that has dealt so much with logic and reasoning
as this book. It is truly
awesome and it really exposes the naivety of evolutionary theory.
As Dr. ReMine mentioned in the beginning, the theory
of evolution is indeed a smorgasbord theory! In mathematical
axioms, if one situation is found where the axiom doesn't work
or fail, then the axiom or theory is discarded, so how come
the same isn't true for the theory of evolution? I have
encountered numerous examples of evidence that utterly
contradicts evolutionary theory, (..., absence of transitional
fossil forms etc. etc. etc.). Dr. ReMine couldn't have been more
right also when he mentioned that evolutionists create double
standards in making people think their theory of origins is
scientific while at the same time relating creationism with
religious myth. They do create double standards! Not only
does evolutionary theory stand against rigorous scientific
inquiry, the evolutionists themselves do things that just
don't follow the rules of science! I just can't wait to
finish reading his book because
it is awesome and it, besides the Bible itself, has changed
my life! No joke! Dr. ReMine, if you ever read
this, thank you dearly for your work to creationist
literature and thought! God has blessed you with a
wonderful gift for writing on such scientific issues
as this! Keep up the good work!
"It is impressive
the amount of effort you put into
examining the original evolutionist works to ensure a
fair analysis of the claims made. It is particularly
valuable to identify in The Biotic Message a list of
arguments and the logical structure used, followed
by a well-thought out reply."
"I had grown up believing in evolution (and essentially with
an atheistic background) but that in college (about 14 years
ago) as I delved deeper into the subject, I came to see just
how empty the theory really was. Ever since then I have been
dabbling in the creation/evolution debate and
found your
book to be one of the best I have seen. Many of your arguments
put into concrete forms suspicions and vague questions
I had concerning evolution. I thank you!"
"Walter ReMine expertly shows how evolutionary
theory has many gimmicks that evolutionists invoke to make it unfalsifiable.
He also presents tons of supporting quotations
and many new/ original creationist interpretations of existing data.
... well worth it to me for the references alone.
"You wrote a book of high quality!
Your style of explanation fits my pattern of thinking. My friend and I
want to start a study at church and use your book as the main reference.
He is also enthusiastic about your book, I gave him one of the copies."
"Thank you for a wonderful book. It was comprehensive,
powerful, insightful, and very original. Did I say how much
I enjoyed your work?!!"
"The most persuasive, cogent and debunking evolution
book I have ever come across in my life as a Science Education researcher.
Brazilians and Portuguese speaking people need to have this book translated
into Portuguese as soon as possible."
"The Biotic Message is an incredible reference
source that is both broad and deep. It covers most every topic
in the origins subject and does so with decisive reasoning. Every subject
is meticulously documented by a wealth of citations to leading evolutionists
speaking in their own words."
"This is one of the new must-read
books in creation/evolution
literature for all serious students. An absolute must for students
of the life sciences to help clarify issues they study in the
classroom. Well worth the cost. Time and again I've found ideas and arguments half-formed in my mind to
be fully fleshed out in The Biotic Message, in greater
force and detail than I would have thought possible. It has
been claimed that your enemy can be your greatest teacher. Mr. ReMine has
taken this lesson to heart in confronting evolutionists so ruthlessly (if
I may use the term) with the results of their own labors and writings.
It is easy enough to find accolades and blurbs endorsing virtually any
book, but The Biotic Message really deserves
every laudatory phrase I've seen applied to it. It is well worth the investment
in time and money to investigate it thoroughly."
"As a creationist who bought and read the book, I
highly recommend it. .... Many, many documented quotes from
evolutionists revealing their underlying inability to reconcile evidence
and theory."
"Scholarly"
"Your book is a must."
"Apart from the Bible I've never been so enthralled
by a book in all my life!"
"I found The Biotic Message to be an excellent
book, containing information which has been obscured to hide the hidden
agenda of "Evolution". Everything was laid out such that it has become
a field guide to me in having debates with evolution proponents at all
levels of the controversy. The methodologies of debunking evolution are
not only powerful, they prove useful in sciences other than biology. I
have begun researching many technical papers and books dealing with evolution,
from the cosmology, geology, and quantum physics; Message Theory has proven
itself to be the only way to explain and predict anomalies within these
sciences. The book is without
a doubt the best in its class, no other book can compare to
The Biotic Message in being simple enough for the layman and technical
enough to shock those who consider themselves highly educated. Walter deserves
recognition for his efforts in creating this masterpiece."
"The Biotic Message has been a 'life changing'
book for me."
"This is a great book!! It taught me
a lot about the creation-evolution controversy and gave me information
that is valuable to use in discussions with evolutionists. This book has
a wealth of quotations from evolutionists that
are very revealing of the weaknesses in the theory of evolution.
I hope that more people read this book and wake up to the fact that evolution
is a theory without a foundation in fact."
"Excellent Book!!! I was both amazed and impressed
with Mr. ReMine's handling of the subject. He really did dismantle the
evolutionary shell game in language that was technical enough to cover
the point, yet simple enough to understand. I was particularly impressed
with one of the early chapters on the logical necessity of supernatural
truth in mathematics. I had never heard anyone contend for the rationality
(not to mention logical necessity) of unproven, supernatural truth. For
me, the book would have been worth reading just for that proof! Message
theory has seriously changed my outlook on life, science, and even deepened
my awe of our Creator. I can no longer read a book on evolution without
considering how the facts and observations fit with Message Theory. Thanks
for what I believe to be the most important and comprehensive book concerning
the origin of life."
"I just finished reading your excellent book
The Biotic Message. I enjoyed it very much and intend to reread
it several times to gain the maximum benefit from it. I was impressed by
your scholarly, detailed approach to critiquing
evolutionary theory. Point by point you show that evolutionary
theory (especially the theory of natural selection) is not really scientific,
because it is not testable. You also clear away the many evolutionary illusions
that have been created by evolutionists to give the false impression that
evolutionary theory is science, when it is not. This is especially useful
for creationary and evolutionary theorists who are interested in the truth
on origins. You stress that the testability (or falsifiability) of a theory
is a necessary criterion (actually, the main criterion) for it to qualify
as science. Unfortunately, for evolutionists, evolutionary theory as presently
formulated just does not measure up as genuine science, despite the many
vociferous claims to the contrary. Evolutionists almost always claim that
creationary theory is not science, but you show otherwise. I especially
like your statement, 'Creation is not merely our best science. It is our
only science'. I believe that more creationists (and evolutionists) ought
to read your book, because it is the best modern
book that presents a testable creationary theory, 'message theory'.
Your theory is worthy of careful and thoughtful
study by both creationists and evolutionists. Thank you, Walter,
for writing this excellent book."
