Problems in Evolutionary Biology Theories
Introduction
Is biological evolution a fact? If one is referring to mutation and natural selection that can change a non-complex character trait, such as the color of fur or skin, the answer is "yes." However, does neo-Darwinian theory explain macroevolution - the change that results species acquiring completely new traits?

The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism
by Michael Behe
Darwin's Black Box author Michael Behe takes on the limits of evolution through an examination of specific genetic examples. Behe finds that mutation and natural selection is capable of generating trivial examples of evolutionary change. Although he concludes that descent with modification has occurred throughout biological history, the molecular devices found throughout nature cannot be accounted for through natural selection and mutation. Behe's book claims to develop a framework for testing intelligent design by defining the principles by which Darwinian evolution can be distinguished from design.
Icons
of Evolution
by Jonathan Wells
In this book, biologist Jonathan Wells examines recent college and high school textbooks (from 1998-2000), and shows how they distort the truth about biology, often presenting information that has been falsified by recent scientific studies. Icons refuted include the origin of life (the famous Miller experiment), embryo drawings that were faked, the famous Pepper Moth example of natural selection, which used staged/fake photographs, showing moths on tree trunks, genetically engineered fruit flies, the beak of the finch, archaeopteryx, and much more.
Dawkins' God: Genes, Memes, And The Meaning Of Life
by Alister McGrath. According to Francis Collins, Director of the Human Genome
Project:
"Wielding evolutionary arguments and carefully chosen metaphors like sharp
swords, Richard Dawkins has emerged over three decades as this generation's most
aggressive promoter of atheism. In his view, science, and science alone,
provides the only rock worth standing on. In this remarkable book, Alister
McGrath challenges Dawkins on the very ground he holds most sacred -- rational
argument -- and McGrath disarms the master. It becomes readily apparent that
Dawkins has aimed his attack at a naive version of faith that most serious
believers would not recognize. After reading this carefully constructed and
eloquently written book, Dawkins’ choice of atheism emerges as the most
irrational of the available choices about God's existence."

Neo-Darwinian paradigm.
