Book Description

ISBN-10: 0890513694 | ISBN-13: 978-0890513699 | Publication Date: May 1, 2002 | Edition: Rev Upd

As one of Dr. Henry Morris's greatest works, A Biblical Basis for Modern Science shows conclusively that the Bible is correct where it touches upon science. This remarkable defense of the Bible allows the careful reader to see that evolutionary science is nothing more than a world view with no foundation. Rather, the accuracy of the biblical records is a marvelous testimony to its divine source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful & Compelling for the non-scientific Christian, November 27, 2010

While Morris does approach science and creation from the perspective of the ultimate authority of scripture, he helps those of us who want to reason through our ideas. Modern education has often presented one side of the evidence, Morris shares a broader perspective. Morris strikes a perfect balance of scientific data and detail with implications and conclusions. He unifies biblical doctrine with modern scientific thought in a way that can not only be easily understood but shared with others. Organized around scientific disciplines rather than as a biblical commentary, this book is an excellent reference for Christians wanting to have rational conversations with non-believers.

This review is from: The Biblical Basis for Modern Science (Paperback)

The one plus of this book is that it did, indeed, get me thinking more about science as it relates to the Bible and Christianity. That's, unfortunately, the only reason I give this book a second star. Henry Morris maintains his biased and closed-minded faith throughout the book. I have faith myself, but I can't help but to question Morris' logic and conclusions. He speaks of the impossibility of the universe being actually a "multiverse". He speaks of "facts" that we "know" based on what we've learned from science and religion; however, how do we know for sure there isn't more than one universe? His logic makes a connection to prove against the idea of multiple equally-powerful gods (i.e. God and Satan), but doesn't successfully disprove a pantheistic view of multiple gods in some sort of god hierarchy having one god of gods. The ancient Greeks and Romans could've had it right based on his theories and ruminations. If you want to read something that will make you become a devil's advocate and never truly get any insight, read this one, but don't expect any answers or logical conclusions.
