As a biophysicist I was quite sceptical seeing the book of Werner Schwemmler "On the True Nature of Evolution". In this book natural science meets humanties, philosophy, and religion within the context of the nature of evolution. Starting from "big bang" to the creation of the universe, from there to the evolution of living matter up to human beings and from the creation of the spiritual world to the question of the existence of God; all this is written by a single person. How is this possible in our modern days with an overwhelming accumulation of new facts and important discoveries in all directions of science?
Werner Schwemmler solves this ambitious goal by concentrating on principal questions. In each paragraph he starts with contradicting hypotheses and discussions of their historical roots; he tries to develop a personal plausible hypothesis in light of the main facts.
In this way he composes a general review of evolution in the different fields, following the sequence of evolution. The ideas of the author will provoke a lot of objections from a readership but will at the same time introduce them to many interesting facts, new interesting arguments and an original view of the evolution going from the material side to the spiritual world. Thus, the book will force the reader to reconsider his own ideas and hypotheses about his own existence and the outside world.
In this respect I recommend this book to a wide audience and a critical readership of specialists.
