1.0 out of 5 stars Typical creationist apologetics, August 29, 1999

This review is from: Creation vs. Evolution: What You Need to Know (Quick Reference Guides) (Pamphlet)

This "reference guide" lists the generally discredited creationist "explanations" of flood geology, geophysics, polystratic fossils and the other typical creationist arguments.

If you are a special creation beliver don't rely on this book to refute well informed scientists, but it is sufficient for typical "lay" persons. That is to say, people who don't know what's wrong with it won't have answers to it. Problem is, the book itself is fact-free. Nothing in it is right. Informed lay people or scientists will have refutation for each and every argument in the book.

Pretty much, it's a waste of time.

This review is from: Creation vs. Evolution: What You Need to Know (Quick Reference Guides) (Pamphlet)

Yes, evolution is a theory. Yes, there is not an infinite amount of seamless and perfect evidence which could allow us to "know" it is "true". Science is not about perfect knowledge and absolutes. It is only a system of thought, experimentation, and peer review which allows us to theorize and then act upon reasonable assumptions. Zealotry in science definitely must be scorned, but the actions of a few do not invalidate the process.

In my opinion, those claiming natural selection is a fraud are ignorant of the science behind genetic mutation and reproductive statistical perpetuance, lack the required mental abilities to understand it, or are extremely biased by erroneous preconceived notions. Ankerberg and Weldon may choose which one they think applies in this case.
