Interview with Author Dr Uditha Jayatunga MBBS, FRCP

 

1. What inspired for me to write the book? I was supportive of evolution when I was young, but when I realised the    complexities of all life and mechanisms made it crystal clear that it cannot be a random process but absolutely a product of intelligent design. I also felt that looking at the current discussions on this debate, I do have many new arguments in support of Intelligent Design, which persuaded me to write this book.

 

2. What exactly is it about and who is it written for? This book gives proof of intelligent design from the universe to solar system and down to cells and DNA. Hence it cuts across the evidence of Intelligent Design at all these levels. It will be beneficial for every one interested in this topic from school kids to university academics and anyone who is interested in scientific curiosities and unknowns. Equally it is vital for all Christians, to know that biblical creation has scientific and mathematical proof. This book also could explain to all other religions, that existence of humans and all life confirms biblical truth. Further, it will challenge all atheists, agnostics and others as the conclusion of the book indicates that our universe and life actually point to an Intelligent Designer, contrary to their thinking.

 

3. What do you hope readers will get out of reading your book? Readers will get to know that at every level from the big bang to the universe, solar system and all life culminating in humans have got the stamp of design in minute detail and hence it is impossible for it to occur via Darwinian evolution based on randomness. It also will dismantle the ‘accepted norm’ of Darwinian modal of evolution. Hence this could make a seismic shift of their thinking. My book also will give a huge amount of completely new arguments and evidence unlike other similar books on issues such as the complexity of the brain, microbiome, need for simultaneous changes, sexual development, ecological balance, human weaknesses and animal adaptations.

 

4. How did you decide on your book’s title and cover design? Being a new author, I wanted to convey a broader message on the contents of the book.

 

5. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers – other than run!? On this debate on creation vs evolution, you need to look at plenty of evidence available ‘outside the box’ to win your arguments, which my book provides.

 

6. What trends in the book world do you see -- and where do you think the book publishing industry is heading? Book publishing industry should identify and promote new books which provide radically new thinking on such matters of vital importance.

 

7. Were there experiences in your personal life or career that came in handy when writing this book? I am a consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine with an interest in brain injury which helped me to dedicate a chapter on brain complexities, which is the most complex structure in our universe. As a medical professional, I was able to dissect biological evidence as well as use my medical knowledge to describe the intricate requirements of body systems which are beyond randomness of evolution.

 

8. How would you describe your writing style? Which writers or books is your writing similar to? My style of writing is ‘my own’ and have not followed any major authors. It is simply ‘my thinking’ on this hugely complex and vast subject.

 

9. What challenges did you overcome in the writing of this book? Lull in work during covid period gave me time to write this book. It was enjoyable to do it. As a new author, I really did not know how this industry works and had to do my own research. Getting a publication as a new author is hugely challenging which could take years. Hence, I was very pleasantly surprised that the first international publisher I sent my manuscript to, Austin Macauley publishers based in London, accepted it within 2 weeks, which may be due to the new thinking my book provides on this matter.

 

10. If people can buy or read one book this week or month, why should it be yours? If anyone is interested in this longstanding controversial subject from the time of Darwin, my book will provide radical new scientific evidence to dismantle current world view on this vast subject which will no doubt be an eye opener.
