Intelligent Design Theory Is True

best sci fi books

Robert Vanderzee's "The Visitor's Report" is unlike any other science (fiction) book I have ever read. Yes, there's UFOs and aliens in it, but while this book does have fictional elements, it reads more like a nonfiction treatise, or perhaps like Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," it can be thought about a sui generis-a style all its own. It is based on suppositions about the true origins of mankind, but those suppositions are grounded in the best available science and logic known to date and they generate this book's overall stunning hypothesis about human origins, coming to the conclusion that the theory of smart design is a way more likely explanation than creationism or evolution.

Why does Vanderzee give smart design the credit for human existence? As the book's back cover explains, "author Robert Vanderzee approached his subject with a mechanical project engineer's eye. Viewing our magnificent universe as a project, Vanderzee began to search for the answers to life's plenty of unanswered questions, unencumbered by religion or conventional thinking, and armed with nothing over simple curiosity and pure logic." As a project engineer, Vanderzee could imagine what kind of thinking went in to the project of generating humanity, and then he thought about all the details and planning needed to bring that project to fruition. Along the way, Vanderzee leads the reader through a discussion of various theories about human origins, ultimately determining which of them are not logical and dismissing them in favor of smart design. I appreciated the book's early chapters for their explanation of all this background material, setting up the book's argument for the plot that followed.

I ought to clarify that while Vanderzee is the author, he is not the narrator. In lieu, that role belongs to an unnamed "earth monitor," an alien being who is here to monitor earth and humans. This narrator is perhaps the book's main character. There admittedly is not much in the way of a standard plot or character development, but nor is there need to be in this distinctive book. The actual plot of "The Visitor's Report" is the step-by-step logical and scientific explanation of how humans came to exist. And then, one time these explanations are given, our earth monitor narrator and his mate Harry, a fellow earth monitor, are invited to attend an alien committee meeting about the current state of mankind in the year 2030 that will speak about the issues humans have created, their genetic and biological flaws, and the perhaps shocking-to the reader and even to a number of the earth monitors-solution the committee has to resolve these issues.
