Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The promise of a heaven in the future is based upon the premise of a creation in the past.

Could God really create the earth in just six short days? And can this same God re-create it all over again in the future? Fortunately, the Bible gives us compelling evidence of a God who is loving and powerful enough to do bth.

In Built to Last, well-known author, pastor, and evangelist Dwight Nelson invites readers to join the experts in a thoughtful creation-evolution dialogue. With clarity and logic Dr. Nelson carefully examines the clues: the complexity of living organisms, geological findings and, yes, even how humasn reproduce. All, he concludes, lead to one rational conclusion--that a divine master designer created our planet. And it is the same loving Creator-God who oversees our lives an dpromises us a home with him in heaven.

Where we came from and where we are going are important questions for all to consider. Take a look at the evidence, search your heart, pray, and then draw your own conclusions. God's truth can bear examination.

Dwight K. Nelson, senior pastor of the 3,500-member Pioneer Memorial Church, is a popular evangelist and author. He is the featured speaker for teh NeXt Millennium seminar, a worldwid satellite program with more than 2,500 downlink sites in North America alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scientific explanation for the origin of life, December 21, 1999
This review is from: Built to Last: Creation and Evolution : A Thoughtful Look at the Evidence That a Master Designer Created Our Planet (Paperback)
In this gripping little book, Dwight Nelson provides scientific evidence for life's origin. He covers topics ranging from the Neanderthal man, evidence for a world-wide flood, to the existence of a 7-day week which has no other basis except the account given in creation. I found this book fascinating reading, and could hardly put it down. At only 127 small pages, it reads quickly, but it well worth the time. Five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful adaptation of "God of the Gaps...", January 6, 2006
This review is from: Built to Last: Creation and Evolution : A Thoughtful Look at the Evidence That a Master Designer Created Our Planet (Paperback)
I loved the sermon series! I was hoping that this type of book would be published so I could have those facts on hand. I teach English in Japan, and this book helped me a lot in preparing my own students for their debate final on creation and evolution.

I HIGHLY recommend this book and any other book by DKN to anyone looking for the path to life.

1.0 out of 5 stars This author has no understanding of basic science., February 13, 2001
This review is from: Built to Last: Creation and Evolution : A Thoughtful Look at the Evidence That a Master Designer Created Our Planet (Paperback)
Dwight K. Nelson deserves a star for sincerity, which influences readers who have limited education, particularly in the sciences. He gives a creationist's view of evolution with the main explanation being "Satan established a belief in evolutionary development over long ages and thus destroyed a belief in Creation and in the Creator." So beware of that nasty little dickens, Satan, or he might make you believe anything.
