In this brief video, Doug Axe comments on the implications for the Darwinian paradigm of some of the evidence and arguments given in Science and Human Origins (Discovery Institute Press). What seduces us in the “Darwinian story” as it pertains to the transition from pre-human to human?

If you can point out similarities between things, then people find it at least intriguing, the idea that there can be transitions that go from A to B. Because you see the similarities and the similarities are certainly suggestive.

A “key take-home” of the book? That “Darwinists really need to confront not the similarities but the differences.”
