Product Description
Many good books on the creation/evolution controversy are available today. However, many of these books can be difficult to understand and even the simplest books develop complex arguments. This book is very different. It takes a fresh, easy to understand approach that begins by teaching the reader some basic science. The principles of creation are presented with a Biblical view that is supported by science. The principles of evolution are presented and addressed to show some pertinent serious flaws. As an added bonus, the authors present and discuss some common questions such as the age of the earth, fossils, early life on Mars, and dinosaurs. The book also contains an additional reading list with an appendix with over 100 creation-related scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments.

Reader ReviewsThis 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 comfortable when sharing my faith with others. If you have a desire to understand God's creation and the ability to back up your beliefs with factual information this book is for you.
