Genesis 1-4: A Linguistic, Literary, And Theological Commentary

6 reviews
C. John Collins

P & R Publishing, 2006

Scholarly and Masterful
Collins has produced a truly scholarly and masterful exegesis of the opening chapters of Genesis. With careful attention to the language and conventions of the text, and with an eye towards historic Reformed theology, he argues that the narrative is an "exalted prose narrative" that is at once historically grounded in and analogical to the ordinary human experiences of the text's original ...

Destiny Image Publishers, 2006

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!! Terrific Read!
I received this book as a gift and once I started, I couldn't put it down. Ms Hagberg has captured the beliefs of these well known and respected celebrities, sports figures, and musicians. I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the series and can't wait to give copies of this one to all my friends. Order 2!

The Second Coming of Charles Darwin

James Morrow

Amazon.com, 2005

MORROW HAS A STYLE OF HIS OWN! FASCINATING CONCEPT!
I could tell by the title this would be a satire, and what a satire it is! James Morrow at his best! He must have written it with his tongue planted firmly between his teeth ... and I read it with a big grin on my face. He certainly knows how to turn a phrase and how to make his readers think. However, I didn't have to think too hard because I'm grounded in the Bible, so I read this story ...

In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the New World Order

12 reviews
Ian T. Taylor

Tfe Pub, 1996

Honest Science
Finally a book that approaches science scientifically! I hated biology when I was a kid because it always presupposed evolution into every single facet of biological studies. Then when we learned evolution I learned it was just a theory, and a very sketchy theory at best. As a result, science lost a lot of credibility with me. I hated the subject because it was bias, tainted with sketchy ...

Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters

29 reviews
Donald R. Prothero

Columbia University Press, 2007

One of the best!
There are a few recent books on religion, science, skepticism, and evolution that will probably go down in history as the "great ones". In that mix I include Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World and Sam Harris's The End of Faith. Donald Prothero's book should certainly be included among such prestigious company!

Anti-Evolution: A Reader's Guide to Writings Before and After Darwin

4 reviews
Tom McIver

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992

An exceptional annotated bibliography on anti-evolution.
McIver's bibliography is exceptionally comprehensive with thoughtful annotations. This book is a useful entrance to the anti-evolution literature. (Number's (1992) book "The Creationists" tells the fascinating story.) The bulk of the references are from the late 20th century (to 1986-87), reflecting the fact that this is an especially recent phenomenon, but it is also quite comprehensive ...

The Devil in Dover: An Insider's Story of Dogma v. Darwin in Small-town America

Lauri Lebo

New Press, 2008

A humanizing account of a battle against religious intolerance
I had been steadily working on analysis of an experiment that I will be presenting later this month, but Sunday afternoon a line of thunderstorms blew through here, and somewhere in there the power went out. My work laptop runs out of juice quickly when running Avida, so that's closed up. There's only so much playing with the puppy that I can handle at a time, and somehow I feel a need to do ...

Beyond the Firmament: Understanding Science and the Theology of Creation

9 reviews
Gordon J. Glover

Watertree Press, 2007

The Bible does not teach Young Earth Creationism
How different would Christian evangelism be if all of the Young Earth Creationists (YECs) gradually folded their tents and gave up their sincere but misguided fight that is so detrimental to Christian evangelism, especially toward the scientific community. Since YECs believe that the Bible trumps science every time, no argument from science is ever going to make this happen. This book, written ...

God and Evolution? The Implications of Darwin's Theory for Fundamentalism, the Bible and the Meaning of Life

5 reviews

Solon Publishing, 2006

My Glimmer of Hope
I came into contact with Daniel Samson's "God and Evolution?" on a random night while surfing the internet. I had numerous web pages open to Wikipedia and other data sites, for at the time I was desperately trying to correlate my devout spiritual beliefs and the facts of science. While in college I had come across many different view points I had never heard of before, and I was taught things ...

A 21st Century Rationalist in Medieval America: Essays on Religion, Science, Morality, and the Bush ...

5 reviews
John Bice

Chelydra Bay Press, 2007

Bice brings clarity and passion to national conversation
Good writing needs clarity and passion. These essays by John Bice have both in abundance. Whether he is discussing religions in general---"In reality, mainstream unsupported beliefs (such as Christianity) are in no way objectively superior to the equally unsupported beliefs of fringe groups."---or the role of religious ideology in American government--- "Imagine how disturbing it would be if our ...

Trial and Error: The American Controversy Over Creation and Evolution

3 reviews
Edward J. Larson

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Definitive Legal History of the Creationism Controvery
Larson's book is excellent. It focuses only on the legal history of 20th Century Creationism. The book was quite objective and thorough and it is hard to discerne the author's position on the matter, although one suspects he may not be sympathetic to the Creationist cause since he is familiar with their sometimes devious and irrational strategies for manipulating public opinion, the ...

Creation and the Courts: Eighty Years of Conflict in the Classroom and the Courtroom

2 reviews
Norman L. Geisler

Crossway Books, 2007

The Importance of this Work
I have always liked Norman Geisler's work. He's one of the best apologetic writers, along with theology writers, out there in the field today. I believe this book is important for every Christian to read because hopefully it will be a wake up call to all Christians. By the use of the liberal orientated (i.e. anti-Christian) courtrooms across the United States, along with the liberal oriented ...

McGraw-Hill Trade, 1991

Fun book teaches the ABCs while teaching biblical week #1
Colorful ABC book that relates each letter to the biblical creation week in chronological order. The second section of the book contains all the same page drawings but uncolored so your child can color his world. The third section is a teachers guide. Very helpful book which all of our 2 to 9 year old children enjoy. We love all Ken Ham's books. He is also a wonderful speaker!

Creation Science Made Easy

Elizabeth J. Ridlon, Robert W. Ridlon

Jordan Hall Publishing, 1999

An easy and understandable way to interpret Creation Science
This book was very good. Creation and Evolution for me was a foreign matter. As a result of reading this book, I now have a clear understanding about Creation Science. It is professionally written but it is also easy to understand. As a Christian I am faced with this issue on a regular basis and it used to be intimidating. I now have a better understanding of the topic. I now feel more ...

Creation: Towards a Theory of All Things

John Umana

BookSurge Publishing, 2005

Dare to think
Dr. Umana's Creation: Towards a Theory of All Things, succeeds in doing what has not been done before -- reconciling creationism and intelligent design theory with portions of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. This is a remarkable and original new book, which I encourage everyone to read, scientists and the general public alike. It is a new theory of biological evolution. Dr. Umana draws ...

John C. Whitcomb

Baker Publishing Group (MI), 1986

An Antidote to Dogmatism
As a college professor, I have always tried to memorize important benchmarks in my field. One set of benchmarks that is critical in teaching geology are dates such as the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. I soon discovered that this task was going to be far more difficult then I first expected because for many dates, such as the age of the universe, many different estimates exist (in this ...

God's Pattern for Creation: A Covenantal Reading of Genesis 1

3 reviews
W. Robert Godfrey

P & R Publishing, 2003

Helps to reconcile the Bible with an old earth
This book is one of several that significantly help to make the point that the Bible does not preclude the possibility of an old earth and an old universe. Other books are also helpful in this regard, including C. John Collins' Genesis 1-4: A Linguistic, Literary, And Theological Commentary, Rodney Whitefield's Reading Genesis One, David Snoke's A Biblical Case for an Old Earth, Mark S. ...
