It's frightening how little progress has been made in 2000 years by some of our species
"The Lie" is a very apt title

Format:Paperback
This book is written entirely for the easily led, those that do not question and those that read what they desperately want to believe. Ham's understanding of even basic scientific principles is laughable... '0' Stars would have been appropriate for this third rate fiction.

Format:Paperback
Ken Ham sets out a melange of viewpoints and opinions in this volume in which he once again discusses his pet topic of humanism and what is wrong with it. He does so from the viewpoint that the theory of evolution (and by default, any area of science whose findings differ from the notion that the planet Earth is approximately 6000 years old) is the source of humanism, his catch all term for his percieved ills with present day society.
While skirting with a few examples from science and attempting to explain that they do not support evolution, or the conclusions drawn are flawed, the main notion that is dealt with is the moral problems he sees with the views drawn from evolution regarding the origins of life, and ultimately ourselves. To this end he examines how Genesis can provide a valid and complete explaination for the existance of ourselves and the world today.
As is often the case with a creationist author, the appraisal of science is made with little authority and understanding, putting a great deal of "spin" on the topic to undermine findings of evolutionists and validity of the theory.
Ultimately, I found this a difficult book to read, its convoluted reasoning and inability to remain focused on the topic in question making the readers task a tiring one.
In the final analysis, this book provides a creationist with exactly the sort of answers they expect on the issue of evolution while completely failing to really examine what evolution is at all.
Alternatively, it provides insight to a Christian and Non-Christian alike as to the driving principles behind young-earth creationism today.

Fascinating!
Ham brings to life the arguments against 19th century science from a Christian perspective. He does so in an encouraging manner.
