OpenStax Textbook Deceives Students





Biology OpenStax Texbook Deceives Biology Students


Biology online TextBook at OpenStax

This online “textbook” suffers from the same misconception derived in our earlier essay.

While the author(s) believes that “evolution” is a product of “natural selection” it is quite evident that he or she or them do not understand or know the difference between true “evolution” and natural selection.

It is also assumed by them that “millions or billions of years” brought about the appearance of life to earth, with no particular purpose of evidence of intelligence behind it.


OpenStax online biology textbook, therefore, teaches us that their online book is also a simple result of “evolution” of letters with no particular reason or purpose or anyone to give credit to.


The author(s) of OpenStax biology textbook claim that 97% of scientists today believe in “evolution”.


There are thousands of scientist today that believe in creation, as evidenced by this web page.

Additionally they state that many of the scientists who believe in Creation are not biologists.

This is also false. Please see the bottom of this page for names of bio-molecular, biologists, geneticists, paleontologists, cell biologists, biochemists, Ph.D.(s) and others among the throng of true scientists who believe in Creation, who refute the false hypothesis of “evolution”.

Additionally, the director of the Human Genome Project  Dr. Francis Collins belives in a God, and he is a physician-geneticist, well noted for his discoveries of disease genes and his leadership of the Human Genome Project, recently stated:
I have found there is a wonderful harmony in the complementary truths of science and faith. The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. God can be found in the cathedral or in the laboratory. By investigating God’s majestic and awesome creation, science can actually be a means of worship.
Why this scientist believes in God. POSTED: 9:37 a.m. EDT, April 6, 2007

 Who is Dr. Francis Collins?

Francis Sellers Collins (born April 14, 1950) is an American physiciangeneticist noted for his discoveries of disease genes and his leadership of the Human Genome Project. He is director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Before being appointed director of the NIH, Collins led the Human Genome Project and other genomics research initiatives as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the 27 institutes and centers at NIH. Before joining NHGRI, he earned a reputation as a gene hunter at the University of Michigan. He has been elected to the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences, and has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Science.

John G. West in an recent article entitled " Journal Apologizes and Pays $10,000 After Censoring Article" stated,

"In one of their favorite soundbytes, members of the Darwin lobby like to assert that intelligent design scientists do not publish peer-reviewed research. That claim is manifestly false". https://evolutionnews.org/2011/06/journal_apologizes_and_pays_10/
The same journal in this article " Peer-Reviewed Articles Supporting Intelligent Design" states briefly
"On this page you can download an annotated bibliography of peer-reviewed and peer-edited scientific articles supporting, applying, or arising from the theory of intelligent design. You also can read a description of the intelligent design research community and its aims".https://discovery.org/id/peer-review/
"Bibliography of Peer-Reviewed and Peer-Edited Scientific Publications Supporting the Theory of Intelligent Design.
Download the full bibliography in Adobe pdf format".
Additionally, The Discovery Institute recently stated,
"More than 800 scientists have courageously stepped forward and signed onto a growing list of scientists of all disciplines voicing their skepticism over the central tenet of modern Darwinian theory. The full statement reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

Prominent scientists who have signed the list include evolutionary biologist and textbook author Dr. Stanley Salthe, quantum chemist Henry Schaefer at the University of Georgia, and Giuseppe Sermonti the Editor of Rivista di Biologia / Biology Forum.

"The list also includes scientists from Princeton, Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Ohio State University, Purdue and University of Washington among others. To view the list along with other information about it go to: www.dissentfromdarwin.org"

Thus, once again contradicting OpenStax and showing that their statements are totally false.
