Secrets of the Sixth Edition: Darwin Discredits His Own Theory
Book Description:
Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species was originally released in 1859, and by 1872, the sixth and last edition was published, becoming the defining text for evolutionists. This controversial work has become the foundation of modern textbooks for scientific studies in origins, though Darwin himself expressed deep doubts about his own speculations and suppositions. Secrets of the Sixth Edition by Randall Hedtke exposes the critical flaws of this landmark book by using Darwin’s own words against him. Provides an examination of Darwin’s research and the faulty basis of his scientific writings. Filled with extensive documentation looking at the fatal flaws in Darwin’s assumptions. Addresses strategies for possible changes to curriculum to address weaknesses in the evolutionary hypothesis. Take an insightful look at Darwin’s work and its inaccuracies from a fresh and logical perspective. You will discover the often ignored reasoning behind his own abandonment of some of the core mechanisms of evolution later in his life, though they remain unchallenged pillars of unquestioning science today. This informative and east-to-read study boldly declares the powerful truth that only biblical creation can explain.

My Thoughts:
Secrets of the Sixth Edition was a very interesting book, but I had to read it in very small portions. Although the book claims to be an easy-to-read study, I personally had to take time to digest all of the information being presented in the book. Because many of the quotes are directly from Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species, it’s just not a simple, easy-to-read book. In my opinion, Darwin’s writings are not easy to read. If they were, many people would realize that evolution as they understand it may not be as cut and dried as they thought.
Hedtke states at the beginning of the book that the essays contained in the book were written over a period of 11 years, so there will be some duplicating of content and jumping around at times throughout the book. There were times that this made it a little difficult to follow.
Overall, I did find the book to be an thought-provoking read which made me want to dig a little deeper on my own into the whole subject. Did Darwin truly turn his back on his own theories? I’m not completely sure, but the arguments presented in this book definitely make a good case for it.
I received a copy of this book from Master Books/New Leaf Publishing to help facilitate the writing of a frank and honest review. A positive review is not required nor guaranteed. All opinions are my own.
