A thinking Creationist.,

This review is from: In Six Days: Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation (Paperback)
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.

Worth reading, if you're already sympathetic to the cause,
This review is from: In Six Days: Why Leading Scientists Believe in Creation and Not Evolution (Paperback)
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.

Good news explored!,
By Bill Clews "Bill Clews" (Leyland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Six Days: Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation (Paperback)
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.
