Robert Gilson, a retired engineer, uses his well-honed analytical skills to challenge the Darwinian theory of evolution with a logic that is both incisive and direct. Throughout one is aware of a mind questing relentlessly for the truth, yet at no time is his journey allowed to stray far from the realm of practical common sense. Whilst vigorously attacking the Evolutionists, he accepts without rancour all he reasonably can. Equally he pursues the opposing camp, the Creationists. Then to give weight to his argument he draws upon a reference library of over a hundred titles, from both sides. Meticulously annotated and cross-referenced, this list is available for the serious student to follow the author's trail in part or in full. Robert Gilson's constructive amalgam of Creationism and Evolutionism, whilst retaining the principle of progressive evolutionism, by the natural selection of advantageous variations, now asks that we accept the possibility of a transcendental direction of those variations. Similarly the possibility of it being delegated through a hierarchy of powers. The two opposing, and oft-times dogmatic schools, are brought together. The unifying factor is the acknowledgement of a directive force, such as is defined in Douglas Fawcett's hypothesis of imaginism. This postulates imagination - and not reason or thought - as the primary function of creative mind. The Creator - the ultimate Source - is seen as the Divine Imaginal; and the whole thrust of this book, whilst seeing evolution in a new light, adds further weight to the later work of its verification in the field of science by Raynor Johnson in his Nurslings of Immortality.
