Hold Up! Wait a Minute... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798252355399)

You've been told the science is settled. The experts agree. The debate is over.

Hold up. Wait a minute.

Andrew Harlan isn't a scientist. He's a pilot, a businessman, a father, and a man of faith who has spent decades paying close attention - and asking the questions nobody seems to want to answer. Not because he wants to tear anything down. But because the gap between what we actually know and what we confidently claim has gotten uncomfortably wide.

In Hold Up. Wait a Minute., Harlan takes on fourteen chapters of accepted wisdom - from space exploration and deep time to cancer treatment, cholesterol, vaccines, metabolic health, and the mysteries of consciousness - and applies one simple standard: show me the evidence behind the confidence.

What he finds isn't a conspiracy. It's something more interesting. A pattern. Systems that reward certainty over honesty. Institutions that mistake consensus for proof. Headlines that promise more than the science delivers.

This book doesn't hand you conclusions. It hands you better questions.

For anyone who has ever sat at a dinner table, listened to the confident verdict, and thought - but are we sure about that?
