This is a book I read many years ago but it was from the Library. Over the years I've felt that the theory of evolution has taken over what was always believed in the Bible. This book explains so much of what has always been there in the Bible, not in a religious way, but a very pragmatic matter of fact way, and I especially love the clear way the writers explain very difficult concepts. The amount of evidence in the earth for a worldwide flood, is explained in this book, a great read for anyone who needs to either prove it to themsleves or to other open minded people. Glad I bought it...

I think it is most interesting that off all of the reviews of this book, all are either 5 stars or 1 star...the average is 3.
I choose to give it 3 because I think that is an accurate reflection of it's worth - the average of what people from radically different backgrounds believe is often a good approximation.
This book is interesting, it symbolises the 'scientific' creationist stance on the subject of the flood. This stance is a peculiar one, but it exists nonetheless and this book provides an excellent summary of the literature.
It will obviously be taken in a completely way depending on who is reading it. Those who stand on the Christian side of the debate will likely see a resounding scientific 'proof' for the flood and love this book. Those who are reading it as an effort at researching the creationist standpoint from non-creationist background will hate it.
However, I encourage an attempt at an open mind by all involved. This book is what it claims to be - it is a brief review of the current scientific-creationism literature on the story of the biblical flood. It is not thorough as that would be impossible (as it would with any scientific or religious topic) and it is certainly not balanced.
If you genuinely are seeking a better understanding of this topic, I advise you read this book as one of several - no one will ever be unbalanced on this topic, and a book directed at the non-scientific populous will not contain strong scientific arguments (just read any popular evolution book that comes out of Oxford to see this). This book is an excellent start as it is clearly biased - it is far better to read two books - one from each side - than to read one 'unbiased' one.... Read more ›

The authors' ability to think with common sense, present obviously high scientific knowledge at an understandable level, and show how related scripture is naturally reconciled make this classic a must for your library. Also, because it makes the evolutionists/old-earthers so mad, you know it's right on target!

This book will give you many of the arguments you need to combat the laughable ideas propagated by those who hold to the theory of evolution. Chapter by chapter the authors examine the geological evidence for a universal flood, and conclusively prove the reality of the deluge. The book is somewhat involved at times, but it is well worth reading as even someone with very limited scientific knowledge will be able to understand much of the contents.

I wonder why the young-earth creationists (whom are rabid antievolutionists) swear by this book, the bible of their movement, because its theories need evolution to explain their "global" flood. Most are shocked to hear this but it is true. And contrary to young-earth claims, most old earthers don't believe in evolution and DO believe in a literal bible. For a book on the topic which doesn't support evolution, and doesn't make up science and supports a literal bible, see Hugh Ross' "The Genesis Question."

This book brought to light the mass of questions the theory of evolution "created" by explaining them in a reasonable and understanding support for a created world coupled with a catastrophic world wide flood that carved out the geological features we see today and a reasonable explanation for the ice caps that has captured so many animal forms suddenly. Evolution has no explaination for the many phenomena that only creation science can answer. After reading this book I am amazed that our education system does not present creation science as a suitable alternative to evolution with its many, many unreasonable theories, that even a child would not be gullible enough to swallow.

Although parts of this book provide an interesting background to the biblical flood myth and the history of its interpretation, the scientific implications mentioned in the sub-title are nil. If you think that the bible is more of an authority than scientific research, this book will please you. If you know anything about science you will probably laugh. The book is dated even by creationist standards - even most creationists rubbish the Paluxy "man tracks" these days - but this book still uses them as evidence against evolution. The authors standard line of argument is as follows "the bible says A, so B must be incorrect" where B equals any scientific explanation of the data; and also "is the bible correct to say X - yes, because the bible also says Y". If using one bible passage to verify the truth of another counts as science in Morris and Whitcomb's world, thats up to them, but I find it unsatisfactory to say the least.

Interesting!
Not an easy read, but I don't think i ever expected that.
Comes up with some very good concepts but it didn't really answer anything for me. Read more

Willfully distorts science
Another work from the High Priest of Creation NON Science. Morris again shows that not only does he not understand basic science, but that he continues to even try to understand... Read more
