SOWING ATHEISM exposes the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) as a nest of anti-family, anti-free speech atheists who delight in forcing the false and abominable notion of worm and reptile descent on America s school children.

The author wrote SOWING ATHEISM in response to the book, SCIENCE, EVOLUTION, AND CREATIONISM, published in January, 2008 by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The NAS sent its book to educators, school boards, and science teachers throughout the country. The NAS book falsely affirms that molecules-to-man evolution is a fact when, in reality, it does not even meet the minimum conditions for a valid theory of science. The NAS fails to present any bona fide evidence for the spontaneous chemical generation of life from dead matter, for the evolution of the sexes, or for what it calls speciation, the alleged evolution of one species into another over vast eons of time.

SOWING ATHEISM reveals that in order to conceal the lack of evidence for its evo-atheism (evolutionist-atheism), the NAS resorts to repetitive false affirmations, disguised tautologies, authoritative obfuscations, baiting and switching, and smearing apostate Christian lipstick on its atheist pig all in order to mislead and manipulate its audience. The NAS promotes an empty and deceitful atheistic philosophy of science, not an evidence-based, inductive, truth-seeking science.

Using the NAS definition of religious belief, SOWING ATHEISM demonstrates beyond a doubt that the evo-atheism embraced by the NAS is an evidence-shy, faith-based religion.

SOWING ATHEISM brings to light the fact that the men and women who put the NAS book together, and the rest of the NAS hierarchy, show themselves unable to comprehend the crucial difference between saying something is true, and proving that it is true. While such a handicap has no bearing on their respective abilities to philosophize, it categorically disqualifies them as competent scientists. This is the hardest-hitting book yet in the creation/evolution debate.

Review

In the current culture war over science education and the teaching of evolution, Bob Johnson's SOWING ATHEISM provides a unique and insightful perspective. In critiquing the National Academy of Science's (NAS) missionary evolutionary tract, SCIENCE, EVOLUTION AND CREATIONISM, 2008, he identifies their theft of true science by their intentional neglect of other valid scientific possibilities. Then using NAS's own statements, he demonstrates that the so-called great process of evolution, natural selection, is nothing more than a figure of speech. These chapters alone are worth reading the book. Next he shows how the NAS attempts to seduce the unwitting reader by providing scanty empirical evidence but presented with great intellectual bullying both secular and religious. He actually embarrasses the NAS with a long list of their quotes where they make the obvious claim that evolutionists believe in evolution. He then shines light on the Clergy Letter Project, again showing the obvious theistic evolutionists believe in evolution. Again, SOWING ATHEISM brings a unique perspective to an always interesting debate; advocates for both sides should find the book intriguing. The questions it raises are important; they deserve a hearing. --Don McLeroy, Chair, Texas State Board of Education

    5.0 out of 5 stars sowing atheism
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2011

    Very thought provoking. If you are a person who does not believe that religion or "belief" should be taught in public schools you should read this book. It is very ironic, and may be difficult or impossible for people in today's secular culture to grasp, but atheism and the scientific method are not compatible, atheism is founded on an unprovable, thus nonscientific, belief. Atheists claim to not believe in God, yet this book will explain quite clearly that atheists do have belief, faith, and religion; and that this new anti-theist religion, a renamed form of paganism, is the only one permitted to be taught in our public schools. Schools can't teach Christianity, neither can or should they teach Pantheism. So this book should not only appeal to devoted, discerning Christians, Muslims, and Jews, it should also have a great appeal to genuine truth seeking "non-believers." After all did you become an "atheist" only to be tricked into embracing neopaganism or neopantheism? Of course this all ties into the idea that the opposite of theism is not atheism but idolatry. The big question is "how do we react to this?"

    I bought this book because I wanted to see how the creationist reasons.
    I had many good laughs at it.
    The content is somewhat mixed. Chapter 8 is about a board game; chapter 9 is about ancient Greek art.
    I don't recommend this book, unless you are interested in the evolution/creationism discussion.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Santa is Coming for Supper
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2009
    By presenting Atheism as the only alternative to accepting the mythological story of the creation that's presented in Genesis Johnson has drawn a false dichotomy and has committed an abundance of errors in the process.

    He attributes to science the same level of dogmatism that he represents. I've taken a brief passage from his work and substituted 'religion' for 'science' and 'Adam and Eve' for 'lizards' so you can see what I mean:

    "We represent infallible religion. You must teach these children
    that they are descended from Adam and Eve It's impossible to disprove our findings, and wrong to challenge them; therefore, no other point of view will be tolerated."

    In psychology that's called 'projection'.

    He is wrong, of course, for Atheism is not the only alternative to Genesis. Darwin himself was a profoundly religious man and reluctantly came around to an evolutionary view of nature mainly because an evolutionary view-point was compelled by a growing body of evidence.

    And that's an important point. Many people lived for thousands of years quite comfortably with the story of Genesis, just as a majority of the people in the East and the Americas lived for thousands of years without it. We can live with anything, any story, as long as we have no reason to doubt it, no evidence that contradicts it or brings it into question.

    Rational people will adjust their views to comport with new evidence but the author of this book is demanding conformity to his dogma. In another context, he's proposed shaming people into accepting Genesis as 'truth' by attempting to shame people into conformity by calling them 'slime, worm, snake people'.

    While Johnson attempts to buttress his case for Genesis with an attack on evolution, the 'problems' with Genesis began long before the evolutionary theory he's attacking. Genesis teaches a geo-centric view of the universe but observation of planetary motions resulted in the Earth being displaced by the sun as the center of creation. Further observation, now, has cast our sun to the outskirts of our galaxy and has moved our galaxy to the suburbs of the visible universe. This is more that earth shaking but it has yielded a creation that brings much more glory to God than the feeble creation depicted in Genesis.

    The notion of God creating everything, even Adam and Eve out of earth, air, fire and water has a charming simplicity that can be grasped by any child and that's the main thing in it's favor. It was compatible with what what known about nature thousands of years ago but modern science has now fathomed the formation of the elements themselves and have developed a picture of creation that has carbon atoms, the main building block of our bodies, being formed by the intense heat and pressure that occurred in exploding stars long before our own solar system ever formed. Again, science presents a much more glorious story of our creation but one that's acquired only with the acquisition of much more knowledge than can be easily assimilated by a child. It's also information that can be, and seemingly is, ignored by many adults who persist with the myth all through adulthood.

    For me, the evolution of culture, of language, of writing, of mathematics, the evolution of consciousness all combine to create an incredible story of creation that places Genesis back where it belongs, as a story for the children that's recognized as a cultural myth to be outgrown as we reach toward maturity.

    But I can see that's not for everyone. I recently came across a quotation that seems applicable here:

    "Ghosts are unscientific. They contain no matter and have
    no energy and therefore according to the laws of science,
    do not exist except in people' minds. Of course,the laws
    of science contain no matter and have no energy either
    and therefore do not exist except in people's minds,... It's
    best to refuse to believe in either ghosts or the laws of
    science.
    --Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
    Quoted on page 136, From Archimedes to Hawkings by Pickover

    In a review of "The Jefferson Bible, Rob Hardy wrote "This was the Jefferson who encouraged, "Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear."

    These are words to live by but not by everyone. In Johnson we meet someone who lives on the other side of the street.

    What's the difference between fanatic religion and evolutionism? Nothing.
    Both are faith based with no fossil records of their gods or missing links.
    The only weird thing is that atheists claim to be scientific.
    Science is systematic and testable which atheism and evolutionism are not.
    NAS needs to read definition of what science is.
    Bowie Johnson knows his stuff and exposes the pseudo scientists at the NAS.
    Christians don't have Jesus bones and NAS has no half man half snake skeleton.
    Score 0 to 0.
    Few people like the author left anymore.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Let's not forget the bonobo
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2009
    This book is inspired. No doubt the author, Robert Johnson, went down to the crossroads, fell down to his knees, and was touched by the spirit as he scratched out the thesis for "Sowing Atheism: The National Academy of Sciences' Sinister Scheme to Teach Our Children They're Descended from Reptiles." He gets all of the basics right. Scientists are after our children. They are tempting them away from Christ with their shiny baubles of fact and reason.

    But even though I gave it five stars, I cannot say it is a perfect book. There is so much more Johnson could have done to illuminate the Academy's true motivation. It has to be more than simply a desire to promote atheism. There must be some kind of economic motivation as well.

    It's a shame Mr. Johnson didn't look into ties between the Academy and the contraceptive industry. It's a natural alliance, evolution and immorality, and one has to wonder if that's why scientists are so bent on establishing a relationship between God's children and that most immoral of apes, the bonobo.

    Bonobos engage in all the most sinful acts of sexual immorality, everything from "thingy fencing" to "tongue spelunking." They do it to keep peace inside their group. They do not handle strife in a godly way--it is not settled by punishment or execution--it is resolved by hot, wild, orgasmic, wicked, ape sex, fluid flinging orgies of disgusting primate love.

    And that's what the contraceptive industry would like to see in human society. Free love, fornication, adultery are good for their bottom line.

    Bonobos, evolution, the contraceptive industry, and the Academy: there has to be a link there somewhere. Perhaps Mr. Johnson could look into it in his next book.
