“Jonathan Wells has done us all - the scientific community, educators, and the wider public - a great service. In Icons of Evolution he has brilliantly exposed the exaggerated claims and deceptions that have persisted in standard textbook discussions of biological origins for many decades, in spite of contrary evidence. these claims have been so often repeated that they seem unassailable - that is, until one reads Wells's book.” WellsHas BeensBookDoneSeemsCommunityEvolutionStandardsEvidenceClaimsDecadesContraryDeceptionDiscussionSpiteExposedIconsEducatorTextbooksExaggeratedGreat Service Author:Dean H.

“We have evidence all around us in our daily analytic practice and in contemporary world history that this earth-shaking archetypal event is taking place here and now. It has already started. It is manifesting itself in international relations; in the breakdown of the social structures of Western civilization; in political, ethnic, and religious groupings; as well as within the psyches of individuals- the momentous event of the coming of the self into conscious realization.” WorldWellsSelfEarthPoliticalIndividualSocialGrowthReligiousPracticeEventsAcceptanceCivilizationConsciousEvidenceRelationStructureWesternInternationalContemporaryRealizationManifestWorld HistoryHere And NowShakingInternational RelationsBreakdownWestern CivilizationAnalyticsSocial StructurePsych Author:Edward F Edinger

“I think Santa Claus is, by and large, quite beneficial, for when the child is finally allowed -- or forced -- to recognize the nonexistence of Santa Claus, then the child is able to go through the vital intellectual process of reconstructing reality in light of new evidence, complete with back-forming new stories to account for past events. This prepares the child for many other disillusionments and gives her vital and well-supported experience in maintaining her grip on reality independent of the stories told to her at any given time.” ThinkingGivingWellsChildrenStoriesRealityLightAblePastGivenProcessEventsIntellectualEvidenceAccountsIndependentMaintainingBeneficialSantaSanta ClausDisillusionmentPast EventsReconstructing Author:Orson Scott Card
