Product Description
Product Description
The Creation vs Evolution debate continues to be a hot topic around the world. This book brings together in one volume the views of many scientists who believe in creation. In this fascinating collection of articles from 50 leading research scientists, all with doctorates, some of whom are emeritus professors at top British and US universities, each scientist explains in layman's terms why they hold to a literal 6 day Biblical creation and not evolution.

This book is well worth reading if, as I do, you regard the Bible as God's Word. All fifty authors believe that the six days of the Genesis account are to be taken literally as consecutive periods of about 24 hours each, and they all have earned PhDs. It is important that one should read the book critically, rather than using it indiscriminately as a source of arguments to present to non-Christians, old-earth Creationists or Theistic Evolutionists. The arguments based on the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and the arguments based on juggling with probabilities are unlikely to convince -- especially where the writers talk about probabilities many orders of magnitude greater than 1 (! ) This is a pity, because the unsoundness of the arguments in places may cause some readers to assume that the cause for which the authors are arguing is unsound. But I certainly found the book helpful: there were some insights that I had not come across before, and one is left with the impression that many of the writers tried really hard to home in on what are the most critical issues for them, personally, in the Creation debate. And some of the writers admit outright that with our present state of knowledge it's difficult to understand how some of what has been observed fits into a young-earth scenario. But there is also a strong case made for the reasonableness of Creationists not having all the answers yet.
So it's worth reading if you're prepared to be convinced by young-earth creationism despite the odd deficiency in what individual authors might have written.

Format:Paperback
All 50 contributors have earned doctorates in science from major universities, and all of them believe in the historicity of the Genesis creation account.
The authors include practioners in many different scientific disciplines. Evolution is claimed to embrace all of reality, so it is not surprising that all 50 contributions provide valuable insights into the creation-evolution controversy. Some contributions are only two or three pages in length, and some are much longer. The contributors describe their individual encounters with the theory of evolution during their education and training and subsequently in their scientific careers, and explain the reasons for their eventual rejection of the theory. My initial suspicion that there would be a great deal of repetition, making the volume somewhat boring, proved to be unjustified. The amount of overlap is inconsiderable, and the diversity of approaches makes the book more exciting and enhances its value.
The authors of this volume are but a tiny sample of professional scientists who are creationists, and amply refute the evolutionists' frequent charge that no serious scientist rejects evolution.

You do not have to believe in Creation to find this book interesting and helpful. The scientists have written in a clear language to make science easy to understand. I shall be giving copies to my grandchildren so that they see another view to evolution. A powerful book.

Good news explored!
An excellent exposition on the folly of believing in evolution, revealing that it takes a great leap of faith to support an unproven theory based on unsound data.
