Logical and accessible

Those who disagree with the book's premise tend to find reasons to dislike it. However, if you read the book without preconceptions, you'll find that it is clear, concise, and makes much more sense than the Darwinian theory of evolution that most of us have been brain-washed at school to believe. The theory of evolution contains numerous gaps, questioning of which gets one automatically on the teacher's and classmates' fecal roster. So I never asked. Then along came books like Scientific Creationism, Tornado in a Junkyard by Perloff and The Lie Evolution by Sarfarti and I found why Darwinists hate to be questioned. It's because they cannot answer the questions which their theory arouses. Books like Scientific Creationism, on the other hand, are able to provide answers which are both reasoned and accessible to the average lay reader.

A Creator-God is well supported scientifically by Dr. Morris

It's hard to put the beginning of the world into a test tube, but from the evidence presented here a Creator-God makes much more sense than evolution. Darwin even acknowledges the lack of fossil evidence. Many years later any true evidence is still to be found! The probability that beneficial mutations are the vehicle for natural selection is absurd given the minute percentage of them. It could not have provided the wonderful complexity surrounding us! Mathematical probabilities of this arriving by chance are ridiculously minute! You can't really prove one way or the other as we weren't there to test it, but Dr. Morris presents compelling evidence in believing in Creation. From the nature of the Laws of Thermodynamics, to the fossil record, genetics and reproduction only within "kinds", to geological evidence of a flood (on mountain tops!), even to the magnetic field and moon dust!, Scientific Creationism presents the evidence to those who are willing to open their eyes and hearts to the truth. It makes you wonder, are evolutionists primarily so because they believe it to be more scientific or because it conveniently removes accountability to a God? Popularity doesn't prove the point. Popular opinion once believed in a flat earth. As far as "true science" goes, Creation has my vote!

Good beginning book on this subject

This book is a good start if you are interested in the Creation side of the Evolution/Creation debate. It is a little outdated now, but still gives many of the basics - most of which don't change. To follow up afterwards there are many internet sites that have "up to the minute" newest studies (both sides), but without a general knowledge, someone might not understand them. Several folks seem to write off this book as unscientific - I believe that is simply because the writer disagrees with their point of view. This subject is not now - nor ever will be a closed case (short of the end times). There simply is no "film at 11" showing how everything began and when. I do have a scientific background having had several courses in many various disciplines at a secular University. I previously believed the lessons taught there, but upon examining as much of the facts myself (not just from this book - or just from one side) I must say I lean heavily toward a more recent creation now. Start reading and examining yourself to see what you believe.

Excellent, easy reading, no nonsense book with the facts.

This book covers in detail the numerous scientific falacies in the evolution theory and the religion it has spawned. It is easy to read, yet scientific in nature. It flows smoothly between topics, and it has a good index that makes finding specific questions easy to answer.

Revolutionary in how one looks at the theory of evolution.

This book will make you angry. It happened to me, it will happen to you. Why? Because you will realize that you have been told lies all your life; given only one side of the story; led to believe in an evolutionary fairy tale. I wasn't mad at the author, quite to the contrary I was thankful and appreciative of his kind and gracious style. My anger welled within me at my teachers in college and through out the public school system who vehemently insisted on evolution as fact while in reality there are no facts to substantiate it. If you are content at being duped all your life, do NOT read this book. But if you are an open-minded free thinker then you have a companion in the author who has dared to go against the tide and speak the truth
