Reader ReviewsRoland Mushat Frye (ed.), Is God a Creationist?: The Religious Case Against Creation Science (Scribner, 1983) Had enough of scientists trying to debunk creation science and religionists laughing at them? This is a refreshing change of pace: a collection of essays written by various religious scholars and leaders debunking creation science. Frye collects eleven essays by Christians (both Catholic and Protestant) and Jews that provide alternate explanations of Genesis that don't contradict the scientific evidence at all. Most of them castigate the creationists, at least in passing, for attempting to make the Bible do something it wasn't meant to do. This is an absolute must for anyone who finds him or herself getting into arguments with young-earth creationists on a regular basis, for any ammo you can add to your quill is valuable, and ammo that works on their level is doubly so. It's also a good one if you're just interested in the subject in general; the writing, as it is in most anthology-style books, is inconsistent (interestingly, the driest and toughest of these essays comes from Pope John Paul II), but when it's readable, it's perfect: couched in layman's terms but without talking down to the reader. A fine book for rounding out your arguments. ****
