Before I start this criticism of a particular scientific theory let me qualify my position. I firmly believe that research is both highly commendable and in most cases, necessary, but waffle is waffle, no matter how many letters there are after a name.
When I was very much younger I took an avid interest in biochemistry. The study of physics and my chosen preference, chemistry are similar in that they rely on proven facts. If one adds quantum mechanics to the pair the facts become more interesting and often, more provable.
However, in the study of human evolution only on one point can the three agree. A tenuous point at best.
There was, in scientific parlance, a RARE event that changed fish into walking animal. No branch of science can explain that RARE event.
That’s why I write fiction, I can make it up as I go along.
About Daniel Kemp
At the age of seventy-six, Daniel Kemp has started his second year of studying the science of Psychology at the Open University. He is a member of The Society of Authors and also a bestselling writer. However, in early September 2025, he was diagnosed with cancer. He is now in palliative care at home, being looked after by his ex-wife. When he was writing his novels, he enjoyed writing stories that appealed to those who liked challenging themselves to solve mysteries that were set out before their eyes, but they couldn't.
His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic incident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden.
Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for six years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by Next Chapter Publishing Company which has added an edition titled The Heirs And Descendants Collection, which holds all four books of that series, alongside an edition titled The Lies And Consequences Collection which contains all four volumes of that series.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed executive of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.

It’s always interesting to see different points of view, I’m thankful for evolution, considered nonsense or not, as it provides a different perspective to shifts in life, especially when inconceivable circumstances present themselves. I have noticed this phenomena in art, music, history & writing books. The evolution propels us to see a certain event as either a catalyst or anabolic event. We in the end decide it’s meaning & furthermore label. Your story of overcoming an moment in life & the ability to turn that chapter into more than one, essentially creating fiction & poetry is evolutionary in nature in my perspective. I have learned that change is the only constant & we decide the change & ultimately live in the outcome if that change.

I totally agree with you, chika2b. My disagreement lies in the Origin Of Species and the various theories surrounding our transformation from a single cell organism into human life.
One cannot prove a negative yet certain strains of science will present ideas as facts, attempting to obliterate the belief in God as the creator.
I cannot prove my belief, but nor can science prove evolution!
