Review from the Publisher

As a missionary in China for 50 years, including during Teilhard de Chardin's "Peking Man" fraud, Fr. O'Connell got in on the ground floor of research into questions regarding man's origins. He read all the relevant literature in English, French, Italian, Spanish and German. Here he brings forth the archaeological, paleontogical and astronomical evidence which confirms the traditional Catholic teaching that the human race did not evolve from lower animals - and that it began with a single man and woman. Though he wrote in 1959, the research findings he reports are still almost unknown today and the crisis of faith caused by unfounded scientific hypotheses has worked havoc in the Church and undermined the faith of most Catholic intellectuals and of many "ordinary" Catholics. Fr. O'Connell gives the scientific evidence why the Church was right about Adam and Eve and the Great Flood. This book is a major contribution and is destined to have a tremendous impact on rebuilding the faith of Catholics! 439pp. PB. Imprimatur.

Against Evolution

This is a very good book for those who wish to refute evolution, in favor of creation as written in the Bible.The author uses many reference materials from both evolutionists and creationists to show that, when all is said and done, evolution is a religious viewpoint that has no foundation to stand on.Some of the most interesting cases are those "hard-core" evolutionists, who, when they finally began to examine the evidence, chose to abandon evolution in favor of creation. The author goes on to show that those who are most strongly in favor of evolution are those who are the least education regarding it - people who are relying on theories abandoned a long time ago, yet still claim them as "fact" (i.e., those who still demand a man-from-ape evolution).This book gives much needed strength to those wishing to combat evolutionism, for the truth of creation.There are several major sub-headings in the book: the author first runs thru several of the days of creation; he then continues on with the well-known hoaxes of "the missing links". For me, the most interesting subject was the Flood of Noah, and how geological evidence quite squarely denies evolution. The author is Catholic. That may not make a lot of difference to people, but being ex-Catholic turned Protestant, I admit I have my bias. However the author usually writes in such a way that is unbiased towards Catholicism. He does use references to the Pope's Encyclical Letters, but he generally refers to the Bible as the ultimate authority.

a much needed work

I came across this book recently in a catholic bookstore and I was very impressed with it. The author does an outstanding job of refuting the claim that evolution is true. He shows how the account given in genesis is actually being proven by scientists today. He goes on to write that not only is evolution false, but that the universe is not billions of years old as some scientists continue to claim. He believes that society began somewhere in the middle east and that humans continued to populate the earth until we have present day culture as we know it. The author writes that he read many books on evolution to see the other point of view but he disagrees with evolution as being inconsistent with logic and know facts. There is no doubt about it. This book makes sense out of history. This is a badly needed book that should be read by those who are religious or non religious to clear the air about evolution. A definite must read.
