The Simulacrum: Creationism, Evolution and Intelligent Design (Gunnar Schofield) (Volume 1)

By Linda W. Yezak, Brad D. Seggie

Description:

Less than a year after discovering a human fossil and a dinosaur fossil found together, paleontologist Wayne Oakford is murdered. His niece, Mary Dillard, believes the killer was another scientist who was trying to ruin his reputation. She hires a private detective, Gunnar Schofield, to investigate the murder. While travelling across the country, the pair learns that a secret society of scientists has been falsifying the fossil record to discredit creationism and support Darwin's theory of evolution. Will she succeed in clearing Wayne Oakford's name? Will the truth about evolution be exposed to the world?

Book Takeaway:

A secret society of scientists exists that deliberately squelches any alternative to the Theory of Evolution.

Why the author wrote this book:

To present an alternative view of the Theory of Evolution, written in the style of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
