ARN Releases Icons of Darwinism T-Shirts

ARN released today its Icons of Darwinism T-shirt and accessories.

In his landmark book Icons of Evolution (2000, Regnery Publishing) Dr. Jonathan Wells documented that many of the classic evidences you were taught in your high school biology textbook about neo-Darwinian evolution were wrong. Every iconic image--from the Haeckel’s embryos to the changing colors of moths in industrial England, to the ascent of man--is either inconclusive, incomplete, or even outright fraudulent. Wells commands readers to sharpen their critical thinking and challenge the integrity of scientific thought, while arguing for greater honesty in the continuing, contentious debate over our origins. Wells argues that the most famous case studies for neo-Darwinian evolution no longer convey the spirit or substance of science, but have become instruments of indoctrination--the Icons of Darwinism. These icons deserve to be toppled for the falsehoods that they are.

The graphic on this T-Shirt was design by artist Jody Sjogren who illustrated Well's original book and represents the uncritical devolution to the following icons (from left to right):

1. Homology in Vertebrate Limbs
2. Darwin’s Finches
3. Peppered Moths
4. Haeckel’s Embryos
5. Archaeopteryx: The Missing Link
6. Darwin’s Tree of Life (center)
7. From Ape to Human: The Ultimate Icon (bottom)

See the book Icons of Evolution for a detailed examination of these and other icons and an evaluation of the use of the icons in ten recent biology textbooks. Then ask yourself if the current state-supported teaching of neo-Darwinian evolution is based on scientific fact or uncritical devotion.
