Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey from Darwin to Design
by Matti Leisola & Jonathan Witt
277 pages Publisher: Discovery Institute Press Publication Date: February 5, 2018

In its first week, Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey from Darwin to Design jumped into the top 25
Amazon books about evolution, and into the #1 spot for a New Release in Evolution.
What happens when an up-and-coming European bioscientist flips from Darwin disciple to Darwin defector? Sparks fly. Just ask biotechnologist Matti Leisola.
It all started when a student loaned the Finnish scientist a book criticizing evolutionary theory. Leisola reacted angrily, and set out to defend evolution, but found his efforts raised more questions than they answered. He soon morphed into a full-on Darwin skeptic, even as he was on his way to becoming a leading bio-engineer.
Heretic is the story of Leisola's adventures making waves--and many friends and enemies--at major research labs and universities across Europe. Tracing his investigative path, the book draws on Leisola's expertise in molecular biology to show how the evidence points more strongly than ever to the original biotechnologist--a designing intelligence whose skill and reach dwarf those of even our finest bioengineers, and leave blind evolution in the dust.


For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse:
