Customer Reviews

Respectfully presented, Well argued

The science, the timeline, all of it was well put together. Lined up clearly with the truth of Biblical history. Well done! As we went through it with our preteens, it was nice to see science laid out in a clear fashion and not the typical convolution we find in evolution orientated material. The kids understood it well enough to debate each other and come out feeling like they were ready to challenge the circular logic they regularly face. I will be giving this book out as a gift in future holidays.

Clear and present danger

This book represents a clear and present danger to the evolutionary world view. It presents a consistent and comprehensive account of the real differences between "different races" in a way that takes the Genesis account of creation, fall, global flood, Babel and dispersion seriously. Modern genetics is also taken seriously. Its teachings reinforce the Biblical model, which may come of a surprise only to those who have not been paying attention to the latest genetics and biblical creationist writings. This account makes much more sense of the linguistic, cultural and "melanine" differences between different peoples. As the authors say, the Bible never speaks of races. On the contrary, it presents all humans as the descendents of the common ancestors Adam and Eve, and of Noah and his three sons. The punch line of the book is plain: we are all relatives, and the Gospel of Christ, the Creator, is for all of us, as descendents of the first Adam. The Bible accounts for the origin of the "human family" the Universal Declaration of Human Rights speaks of. The stories of Hitler and the Jews, of the hunted aborigines and of Ota Benga, the Congo pigmy taken to a New York zoo to share a cage with monkeys, speak eloquently of the dangers of forgetting these important Biblical truths. But even the Christian Churches have many times incurred in serious wrong doing because of their own distorted interpretations ("eixegesis") of the Biblical text, starting with Genesis 1-11. The problem of humans is not that they are animals, but they are sinners living in a fallen creation. This is a problem that only the Creator himself can fix. And he has done that. The present book attempts to deconstruct some of the classical misinterpretations that have been used to justify "Christian racism". The solution for this problem not to abandon the clear and present meaning of the text, followed by an attempt to compromise it to modern or post-modern human "wisdom, but a return to a careful literal interpretation of the Bible, as Jesus has taught us to do.

the RACE PROBLEM is based on a FANTASY

The much discussed problem of race relations is a false problem, since there is only one race - the human race. It's about time someone in the Evangelical leadership said this. This important book presents the science that debunks the "races", surveys the history of Darwinian racism, and points the way to the Christian answer to our foolish tensions about trivial physical differences. Bravo!

the real answer to the questions

This book is deffinetly worth buying. It helps people realize how all the races came togather and where they came from. I would deffinelty recommend this book to anyone it seriously brings down the walls of segregation. I'd like to thank the man who gave me this book it was a blessing.

Undeniably connects the increase of Racism to Evolutionism!

An abysmal chapter in the history of evolutionary philosophy involves the notion that certain 'races' were not quite as advanced as others. Consider the complete title of Darwin's famous book: "The Origin of Species by Natural Selection" with the subtitle, "The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life". In the 1800's the scientific community believed that Negroes were lower on the evolutionary chains that Caucasians. Not only were Darwin and Thomas Huxley racists, but virtually all the leading evolutionists and anthropologists - Osborn, Hooton, Hrdlicka, and Haeckel. Consider this quote: "The Negroid stock is even more ancient that the Caucasian and Mongolian, as may be proved by an examination not only of the brain, of the hair, of the body characters, such as teeth, the genitalia, the sense organs, but the instincts, the intelligence. The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the eleven-year-old youth of the species Homo Sapiens." (Henry Fairfield Osborn, "The Evolution of Human Races", Natural History Jan/Feb 1926. Reprinted in Natural History 89 (April1980):129)H. F. Osborn was the most prominent American anthropologist of the first half of the twentieth century and director of the American Museum of National History. These remarks were not based on innate prejudice, but on the "so-called" evolutionary science of the day. Batten, Wieland & Ham make their point clear. Evolution has fueled Racism and was even the justification for all sorts of racist attitudes, actions and atrocities (including the Nazi Holocaust)! Not only do they identify the problem, they offer the only true and workable solution to racism (BTW, for more Biblical answers to troubling questions: http://www.AnswersInGenesis.org ). This book, if it gets into the right hands will cause a "REVOLUTION against EVOLUTIONISM!"
