    About this ebook

    For over 150 years, a war of words has been fought between science and religion over which theory best describes life as we know it-Darwin's theory or the story as presented in the Christian Bible. In a bold new approach, Neither Darwin Nor Genesis clearly outlines the major flaws in both arguments and offers a whole new view of life, creation, and evolution based on fundamentals of metaphysical science which looks beyond the physical, visible realms to uncover the invisible but intelligent forces which govern all things in form.

    This New Paradigm of life comes as school leaders and our nation's courts are being besieged by the proponents of two old schools of thought try to establish their world view into the minds of our children. In one swoop, Neither Darwin Nor Genesis shows clearly why neither of those theories hold water, and now offers one that does. As we move into new millennia with a world dangerously out of balance, the New Paradigm offers a worldview that has been known to aboriginal cultures for eons and concurrently is being accepted by quantum physicists and New Thought spiritualists.

    Author

    David W. Moyle

    David Moyle has devoted his life looking for answers, searching for truth. From his earliest years, he needed to know how things worked. Always exploring, always examining he developed a keen scientific mind to attempt to discover the inner workings of most everything he encountered. As he progressed in his education, both formal and casual, he began to study the sciences and where science could not supply satisfactory answers to his questions, he looked for them in religion. In his late thirties, as he began to explore deeper regions of thought where neither science nor religion had reasonable responses to his questions, he discovered the realm of metaphysical science. Here at last was he able to find responses which would stand up to his questioning, reasoning mind. Over the last twenty years, Mr. Moyle has read voraciously, not just in metaphysics but in science and religion as well. He now holds a doctorate in metaphysical science and has written numerous articles on the metaphysical perspective of many topics. He is known as a lecturer, counselor, therapist, hypnotist and healer. He also spent many years in the business world as a consultant, corporate executive, entrepreneur and teacher. He currently resides in Oregon City, Oregon.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Foreword 

      For as long as I can remember, I have had a voracious appetite for knowledge. I loved to explore and even more, I wanted to know how things worked. When other boys were out perfecting their swing of a baseball bat or their wrestling moves, I was more likely to be found taking apart a broken toaster, figuring out how it was intended to work and then discerning why it no longer worked as intended. I also loved adventuring into the natural world, drawn by the diversity of life forms. In school, I was strongly attracted to the sciences, which are in their purest sense, studies of how things work. From these beginnings, I expanded, developing a scientific mind—questing and probing for answers. And I studied at least a little of all the sciences—from thermo-dynamics to computer science, medical science to quantum physics. I even explored the so-called soft sciences like psychology and anthropology whose anchors are placed in theories and conjecture which seem to fit, at least if you don’t pay too much attention to the times when the theories don’t work.

      I also explored religion—at least I tried to for a while. It had been my early hope that religion would have solid, reasonable answers to the questions that science couldn’t answer. My parents had been raised in Christian traditions, so that’s where I started. But the more I looked, the more inconsistences and contradictions I found. For example, from the teachings came the law, Thou shalt not kill. Well, that’s a good thing—respecting the sanctity of life. But then the stories of some of the Bible’s great leaders are ordered to murder, and even worse, others were ordered to carry out what we would now label as ethnic cleansing or genocide.

      So I started looking into a wider range of religious thought. None really satisfied me. It seemed they all were based mostly on Say your prayers, hope for the best, pass the collection plate and don’t ask questions. Still wanting to find answers to the questions that science couldn’t answer like, Who am I, really? and What is life?, Why is it that many creatures can walk about and feed themselves moments after birth but it takes years for a human infant to be able to do so?

      In my late 30’s, I stumbled into a different realm of thought called metaphysics and soon began devouring all I could find about it. In metaphysics, I not only found a bridge between science and religion, I also began to find answers to questions I hadn’t known existed because neither science nor religion wanted the general population to know about things they couldn’t explain. This included explaining such phenomena as How is it that men can walk unscathed across a bed of two thousand degree coals? or How did that woman lift a four thousand pound car off her trapped child?

      Eventually I decided to pursued some credentials in this field so I could better assist others who were also looking for answers to the tough questions. I already had a degree in business from a prestigious university, but wanted a degree in metaphysics. Though offered by very few institutions, I eventually found one. After several more years of study, I emerged as a Doctor of Metaphysical Science (Msc.D.).

      This book is one of my first projects in attempting to build a bridge between science and religion where both sides have inadequate information to resolve an issue that affects the thinking of millions of people—Did humans arise through a slow series of mutations of other creatures or did we come from a click and a wink from some all-powerful God entity? So here my viewpoint on this hotly debated topic begins. My perspective is that few of the existing explanations about this topic work when you really examine them with a reasoning mind. I offer one that I feel does work.

      An enormous body of information exists on the topic of evolution and its counterpart and predecessor of social Western thought—Creationism. The amount of writing on this topic is perhaps owing to the emotional attachment that is placed on the subject of our origins and on the workings of nature. At the time I was originally researching this topic in 2003, I found an incredible amount of information listed on the Internet. Doing a Google search
