5.0 out of 5 stars An Authority That Cannot Be Ignored, June 27, 2001

By 

Jacqueline M. George (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creation : Our World View (Paperback)

Dr. McMurtry has written an excellent book. First, it is easy to read and understand, but it delivers a knock-out punch to evolutionary theory. This is because Dr. McMurtry was an evolutionist for many years and this background has given him a unique approach to writing about the controversy between creation science and evolution. Second, this book covers a wide range of topics. It handles everything from the flood to dinosaurs to geochronometers (young earth theory) to carbon 14 dating in specific detail.

Finally, it is very obvious that this author has a thorough command of his subject, therefore, giving his writing an authority that cannot be ignored.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, May 14, 2006

By 

Alchemist (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creation : Our World View (Paperback)

I heard this gentleman do a presentation which was filled with a plethora of logical fallacies, sheer nonsense, and laughable logic. This book merely dumbs down dumb ideas to something a kindergartener would find ridiculous. Evolution does not preclude a belief in God, and "Dr." McMurtry (if you research, he received his "Doctorate of Divinity"--usually an honorary degree--from an unaccredited Bible College) seems to want everyone to believe that you are either a Bible-fearing believer or an atheist. A typical either/or fallacy and pure rubbish. Don't waste your time with this pseudo-scientific hack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book and simple to understand, August 19, 2006

By 

MakoMD (East Coast) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creation : Our World View (Paperback)

Awesome book that brings the evidence to light in a simple way. Most people I beleive will come away with a better understanding that evolution has a lot of questions to answer. If you're not sure what to beleive, evolution or creation, this book you have to read. Then draw your own conclusions.

As far as the author's education. He has a degree from the University of Tenn (GO Vols!!!), Masters is from State University Of NY, so besides what the other reveiwers may say, Mr. McMurtry has a quality education.
