Basic Refutation: As a Christian, I've read my share of evolution-refuting books. This book is small. It's not in depth. But considering its miniature size, it still makes some very good points and poses challenging questions. It manages to pack a decent amount of information into a small package. However, if you're looking for a dig-deep, in-depth analysis and refutation of evolution, try one of McDowell's 800 page books instead.
this book is a joke: 128 pages? You've got to be kidding. My 10 year old writes longer stories. Simple book for simple minded people.
small but POWERFUL: What it does have is very good, but be prepared for a small book. I have studied Evolution and personally I find it to be such a farce, that I don't even like to waste my time talking about it. In time, evolutionist will acknowledge Evolution for what it truly is, fantasy.
Hank should consider they views of St Augustine: Hank you should study St Augustine of Hippo's views about science before writing this piffle: "Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion." - (The Literal Meaning of Genesis)
A much-needed read for today's society: I bought this book a couple of years ago and have read it twice. Hank does a masterful job deconstructing the myth of evolution. Everyone ought to read this book carefully and think about what it says. Hank uses researcher's own flawed data and ideas to show that creation is how we all got here, not by random fluctuations of natural matter over eons.
