Compelling evidence that the most important assumptions on which Darwinism rests are scientifically wrong. The controversial best-seller that sent Oxford University and Nature magazine into a frenzy. Shattering the Myths of Darwinism exposes the gaping holes in an ideology that has reigned unchallenged over the scientific world for a century. Darwinism is considered to be hard fact, the only acceptable explanation for the formation of life on Earth, but with keen insight and objectivity Richard Milton reveals that the theory totters atop a shambles of outdated and circumstantial evidence which in any less controversial field would have been questioned long ago. Sticking to the facts at hand and tackling a vast array of topics, Shattering the Myths of Darwinism offers compelling evidence that the theory of evolution has become an act of faith rather than a functioning science, and that not until the scientific method is applied to it and the right questions are asked will we ever get true answers to the mystery of life on Earth.

Richard Milton is a British writer, journalist and broadcaster. He currently freelances for The Daily Telegraph and other newspapers. He is the author of a dozen books - both fiction and non-fiction - all now available on Kindle as well as in paperback form.

Richard's latest novel is "When Sally comes marching home" a WWII espionage thriller. One former officer of the Secret Intelligence Service wrote "congratulations! You’ve got the details right and the characterisation is highly believable. It’s a real page-turner."

His non-fiction books are highly controversial. "Bad Company", which The Sunday Times chose as its Business Book of the Week, sets out to explain why large corporations sometimes behave in self-defeating and even insane ways.

His equally controversial "Shattering the myths of Darwinism" caused some members of the scientific establishment to start chewing the carpet and foaming at the mouth, by daring to demand real empirical evidence in support of Darwinian beliefs, in place of conjecture and pseudoscience. "Alternative Science" (also published as "Forbidden Science") examines how and why good science is sometimes thrown out with the bad for purely ideological reasons.

His book "Best of Enemies" looks at Anglo-German relations through two world wars and charts the origins of modern propaganda. The book is currently the subject of a TV film of the same name to be broadcast on German and British TV later in 2015.

His latest non-fiction book, "The Ministry of Spin", reveals for the first time the story of how the post-war Labour government secretly held onto the wartime Ministry Of Information: how they buried this powerful propaganda machine deep in Whitehall: and how they turned its wartime propaganda powers on the British Parliament, media and people in order to push through their peacetime political programme.

In fiction, he has published three mystery thrillers and a book of short stories.

"Dead Secret" is a paranormal mystery thriller. Investigative journalist Tony Gabriel stumbles onto his biggest ever story when he inherits the papers of a long-dead historian - and finds himself the target of an ancient secret society. Are they just rich, powerful people playing an elaborate game, or have they truly gained paranormal powers to see into the future?

"The Glass Harmonica" is a mystery thriller. Concert pianist Julia Franklin is heir to an inheritance worth a billion dollars - enough to bankrupt America's oldest bank when the trust matures. Miles Bartholemew, of Bartholemew Equity and Trust, has to find the heirs of the Franklin trust and deal with them permanently, before his family's bank is ruined.

"Conjuring For Beginners" is a crime thriller. When legendary con-artist Ferdy Daniels dies alone and penniless, his daughter, Rosa, inherits his victims, who are convinced she was his partner in crime. To keep one jump ahead of them - and stay alive - Rosa must unravel Ferdy's web of deceits. But to re-trace her father's footsteps, she must learn to become as quick-witted and cunning as Ferdy, the master magician.

"True Stories: Mysteries of Crime and Punishment" is a collection of short stories with a difference. Every story in the book is true - except one. Some tell of crimes that have gone unpunished by the law. Some are crimes against laws that are unwritten. And some are crimes that exist only in the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional and Essential Information!
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

This is a very well-written book, packed with critical information. The author takes care to properly present Darwin as an honest researcher who NEVER claimed to have "all the answers". Although Charles Darwin has become "the patron saint of Neo-Darwinism", he was never the boogey-man atheist that he has made out to be, by hack theologians. We can respect Darwin's work without overloading it with false theories which he would have never condoned. It is also possible to gain an appreciation for "natural adaptation" in the human genetic code without resorting to extremist evolutionary concepts and the never-ending desperate search for the non-existent "missing link", using false evolutionary models such as the infamous Piltdown Man. Even so, desperate hard-core evolutionists will never cease in their efforts to comically use clever art manipulations to present normal tree-apes as human ancestors. Tired Old Treasured paradigms tend to die very hard, as Professor Kuhn tried to warn us.

5.0 out of 5 stars DARWINISM BUSTED...A MUST HAVE
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017

This marvelous book is indeed convincing and worth every penny. In fact, it is worth its weight in gold, and even platinum.

Sadly, it's getting harder to find, so I encourage interested, open-minded readers to get a copy before it's unavailable or overpriced.

For those readers interested in accurate, logical refutations of Darwinism, this is the one book to have. Milton decimates the frauds and fallacies of Darwinism, and takes on the neo-Darwinists who attempt to update the unsustainable theories of their master. Step-by-step Milton deconstructs the frauds and errors to show just how bankrupt accepted theories of evolution are.

He refutes the crafty theories of Evolutionist-Darwinian Richard Dawkins, showing how his account of evolution, as expressed in "The Blind Watchmaker," is contrived and false. Jolted by the book's revelation, Dawkins wrote a scathing attack against Milton which was (no surprises) widely disseminated in an attempt to prevent people reading Milton's extraordinary book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Imperfect but interesting, providing a different view
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2006

One-sentence impression:

Even a non-religious evolutionist like Milton can see that the "overwhelming evidence" for evolution is a house of cards, a leaking bathtub boat that is a battleship only in the imaginations of those who have faith in pure chance plus necessity.

Some general thoughts:

It's nice to see someone who remains aloof from (if not opposed to) the creationist and even ID circles taking note of problems with, and arguments against, evolutionism. Richard Milton is an evolutionist,but not a devotee of the current evolutionism and he's clearly a talented writer. It's a bit sad and discomforting, though, to see where this independent position seems to be leading him -- grasping for straws, apparently hoping for a return to some form of Lamarckism, and looking into "scientific" research that borders on the mystical. If evolutionists insist that "creation or evolution" is a false dichotomy, they may want to look at this book to see where that idea leads, even though this merely comes close to a third alternative or combination. I don't think they'll like it.

Milton also makes some strange mistakes on some details, which I didn't expect to find in the work of a science journalist. On p. 203 (in a chapter on the sad history of claims of finding ape-human "missing links") he writes about "_Australopithecus africanus_ -- southern ape-man. (Dart was here following the precedent of _Hesperopithecus_, western ape-man)." Of course, there's no "man" in either of the scientific names, unlike (as noted earlier in the same chapter) Haeckel's purely imaginary "_Pithecanthropus alalus_, the 'speechless ape-man'," and Dubois' "_Pithecanthropus erectus_, 'upright ape-man'," made from a few separate fragments. (It should be noted that _Hesperopithecus_ was given the informal name "Nebraska Man." ) Likewise, in a chapter about coelacanths turning out to be a real disappointment as models for a fish-amphibian transitional form, he writes: "The fish that walked, it was announced, was of the Crossopterygian (or bony-skulled) class, and more specifically was a Rhipidistian (or lungfish)." As I recall, Crossopterygians are a subset within a subset of craniate ("bony-skulled") animals, and while I can't recall if any or all Rhipidistians were considered lungfish, I'm pretty sure most if not all modern lungfish are not Rhipidistians.

Still, let's not magnify a couple warts and imagine the book as a whole may be written off. A few flaws such as these just remind us to take everything with a grain of salt, as is always the case with non-fiction books. There are so many things in this book that are (or should be) generally known or easy to look up, and it is so well-written, that it is a must-read for anyone who wants to investigate the evidence against established evolutionism but refuses to read anything by a creationist or a member of the Intelligent Design movement. Furthermore, both creationists and establishment evolutionists may find that having some more-or-less alternative suggestions to consider can throw some fresh light on their disputes and alter the tone of the debate.

5.0 out of 5 stars The importance of an open mind
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2017

This book is an important reminder that scientists are also people - and can be subjected to peer pressure to accept 'current theories' rather than to keep an open mind.
The author raises many questions about Darwinism which deserve serious consideration. He has, quite bravely, proposed what an alternative theory could look like. While I don't think his postulate has sufficient substance to be seriously considered at this stage, it does show that new thinking is required.
I think the strongest point he raises is that if changes took place very slowly over long periods, the fossil records of all life forms should be replete with intermediate stages. Their complete absence must force a re-evaluation and should require a halt on teaching Darwins theory in high schools. Universities should be able to debate aspects of various theories and stimulate research into finding more plausible explanations.

The science is never in. Milton does a great job of reminding us of this very important fact. When a promising theory become a dogmatic belief system we are all in trouble. The first casualty is the truth. Shattering the Myths of Darwinism reminds us of this fact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Critique of Darwinian Evolution
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic critique of the Theory of Evolution. There is no support of religion or creationism in this exposition by Milton, and he does a brilliant job of attacking the theory from what appears to be an unbiased and rational position. My only criticism is that he spends a bit too long (for my liking) on the issue of the age of the Earth and geology which makes up the first third or so of the book - unless you have an appetite for this topic, it can be a bit heavy and technical - I skimmed over the latter parts and then got onto what I found to be the really interesting arguments against evolution and natural selection. Milton backs up his arguments with lots of research, data, and findings from scientists. He has a very engaging and witty writing style which makes the book an enjoyable read. I struggle to see how anyone can consider the theory of evolution a proven fact after reading this book...

Written by an atheist this book is what modern science desperately needs. Some long overdue honesty in Science. Science has become a religion with more dogmatic despair than the Catholic Church. Read this and you will see it takes more faith to believe in Darwinism than in an invisible designer. Darwinistic Evolution is the greatest hoax of the last 100 years. Bravo! For the guts to go up against the establishment. And shame on you Dawkins!
