Humanity did not ascend from apes-we descended from heaven through the breath of God.
The Descent of Man, the fourth book in the "Machine or Man" series, is designed to explore the evolutionary history of the proposed mechanisms in order for one species to evolve into another. The book begins with a chapter that explores the social implications of accepting the naturalist worldview and shows that the logical progression of the evolutionary worldview leads us to transhumanism. If there is no God, then it is logical that humans are the masters of their own destiny. This view means that creating a superhuman race by enhancing the human body through genetic manipulation is thus a legitimate enterprise, and a merger of machine and man could logically lead to a society in which the wealthy elite could create a superior race of humans who rule over natural human beings.
The Descent of Man works through the history of all the proposed mechanisms offered by evolutionists who claim that one species can evolve into another. Henry Patiño tackles these claims one by one, showing how each of their mechanisms has been disproved by empirical science.
Henry also takes the reader through radiometric dating methods and shows the false assumptions of evolutionists and their inability to be a reliable chronometer.
Finally, the author goes through the history of the supposed family tree linking apes to humans and explains how these evidences have failed to create a credible evolutionary lineage that substantiates the claim that humanity evolved from apes. He documents that the only real evolution taking place is the evolution of the theory of evolution.
