Informative, factual, and current answers for Christians asking questions about science. --

Product Description
John Morris, President of the Institute for Creation Research, tackles many of the questions concerning science and Christianity that are vital to todays society. In addition to the title question, Morris uses his biblical and scientific backgrounds to addresses questions such as "Hasnt Life Been Created in the Laboratory?" "What about Stem Cell Research?" "Whose Values Are Family Values?" "Does Science Conflict with the Bible?" and many, many others. This book will be a welcome complement to the library of every Christian faced with questions involving science, ethics, and the accuracy of the Bible.
Reader ReviewsWhile, I don't believe that this book was written from a purely scientific perspective, it does have some insight. While I won't speak or argue specifics or details contained in the book--the volatility of the subject it beyond belief--I do have reservations. The problem that I have with it is that it appears too much like the researchers started with a BELIEF, and then set out to present matter that supports their belief, rather than have a QUESTION, and set out to find the answer--regardless of what the answer might be. Too many of the arguments could be manipulated or interpretted differently depending on what result one was looking for. It just seemed too selective when it comes to choice of information, and biased in its presentation. None-the-less, there was research involved, and there is some useful information presented, but I wouldn't take the information blindly. Regardless of what you believe, this book can provide you with information that would allow one to feel more versed on the subject. Af far as writing style, it is quite easy to read, and the book is divided into 100-or-so questions, each having only a few pages devoted to it. Easy to pick-up for only a few minutes at a time.
