creator. Additionally, Spetner vehemently rejects the teaching of Creation in public schools, asserting that "the subject is best handled in the home or within a religious environment." In 1980, at a conference for Jewish scientists, Spetner claimed that Archaeopteryx was a fraud. Spetner continued his attack on the modern synthesis in his book Not by chance! Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution. Spetner is a critic of the role of mutations in the modern synthesis. Spetner claims that random mutations lead to a loss of genetic information and that there is no scientific evidence to support common descent: Spetner continued to study after retirement, pursuing interests in evolution and cancer cures. Spetner's latest book "The Evolution Revolution: Why Thinking People are Rethinking Evolution" develops his nonrandom hypothesis (NREH) and was published in 2014 by Judaica Press.
