The Dawkins Deficiency by author Wayne Talbot, is an easy read for those who are interested in the theory of evolution and the variants of the evolutionary process in time. The author presents a very interesting debate of the omission of proof for statements in the book, The Greatest Show On Earth by author Richard Dawkins. Wayne Talbot acknowledges he is not a scientist, but he is a noted analyst in the arena of professional commerce and business management. His interest and extensive research for logical or analytical explanations in biology and environmental forms of life is apparent throughout parts II and III of the book.The Dawkins Deficiency does not seem to be written as a theological issue, but as a means to refute an author who can not substantiate or prove the content of his books with science. Author Wayne Talbot writes that he does not take issue with beliefs of atheism or with any scientists who embrace the theory of evolution, but he presses the need for a distinct definition for the term `theory of evolution' and scientific proof of written and published theories. The author states the theory of evolution can not be proven scientifically, especially since the definition of the term for evolution is vague, and open to different interpretations. The Dawkins Deficiency exposes a lack of logic in Richard Dawkins argument for the facts of evolution having been irrefutably proven.While reading the book I did not feel the author was trying to convince me of any theory or belief about the subject of evolution. Wayne Talbot refers many times to the lack of available scientific information available to prove beyond any doubts the theory of evolution and therefore expose "The Greatest Show On Earth" as a publication based on a biased belief of author Richard Dawkins.In summary, I enjoyed reading the authors' views and the information regarding biological `rearranging' and carbon dating.My favorite statement from The Dawkins Deficiency is, "Evidence in dispute by qualified scientists is in dispute and thus, in doubt."  The cover graphics are very pretty!
