He found it wanting in every particular which he examined.In the first part of the book Mr Lethbridge puts his case against the theory of Evolution, and in the second part he shows that the known facts of Evolution could be equally well explained in another way. He had for many years been working on the 'fringe' study of Extra Sensory Perception, and he used that study to present an alternative theory to Darwinism.Mr Lethbridge was well aware that much more evidence was needed before his ideas could either be proved or disproved finally; but they do provide a reasoned explanation based on years of careful study. The theory he put forward was not only more compatible with observed scientific fact at the time, but less at variance with accepted religious beliefs.…

Lethbridge's Introduction, pp. xviii-xix. "It is a remarkable picture, this voyaging of Christian monks to the far north. The skin boat skimmed like a stormy petrel over the surface of the ocean.
