Super Book! I'm 51 yrs old and was a "dyed in the wool" evolutionist until a few years ago. I finally put aside my predjudices and gave intelligent design a fair hearing. Evolution IS a fairy tale for grown-ups... I noticed the reviewer who gave it a bad review resorted to name calling. When you don't have facts on your side that's all you can do, right? I used to do the same thing when I was smug, arrogant, and certain that I knew it all.

I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about on this page. He obviously didn't read this book. Either that or he is a close minded evolutionist that believes the lies that he was taught in the public schools. Even when presented with mountains of factual evidence in books such as this one, they still have to hold on to that old evolution fairy tale. It's absolutely ridiculous to believe in a theory that says that everything evolved from the big bang, an explosion of nothing. How does nothing explode? Come on, even Darwin admited there was a creator.

In any book on this subject, you will find ideas you agree with, and ideas you don't. There were a few of the summaries that I felt were fairly accurate, but perhaps a bit oversimplified - however, the author almost always went on to explain his thought process, etc. I also found it helpful to remember that this book (containing a small mountain on information) summarizes and refers to information and quotations from various scientists and authors which are given other places, (i.e. the website, or the three-part series).

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject. I identified very strongly with the author, and it sounds like his story is similar to mine. I had to search through oceans of data and mountains of books to find similar information when I had my own questions on the subject years ago.

While it is perhaps not the most professionally produced book I have ever read, I have done considerable research in this area, and I found no blatant binaccuracies. I also felt that the typeset was readable, and had no problem with the bolding, etc. as the author explains this in a "key" in the book's Preface. There is certainly no question as to the author's viewpoint. In many ways, I could identify with the "passion" of his arguments, as I have been through the same struggle myself.

Besides, where else can you get so much good, solid information for so cheap ??

If you are willing to know what real science, evolution and creation teach and believe this is the place for enlightenment.
Using the professionals of Evolution to state the facts about the facts it is an awesome narrative type of research that can help make one to know the reality of why we have been so dumbed down to believe in this false religion that has so many defeated in there right to evolve into a true superior creature.
A MUST READ for the HUMAN RACE

This book is loaded with facts and figures, and food for thought. Just goes to show how the evolutionists are so afraid of questioning their "theory" (which they have made fact), that you can't even discuss or debate or question it in our public schools. It's nothing more than a conspiracy to hold back the truth. I defy anyone to read this book completely AND THINK ABOUT WHAT IS BEING SAID, and not seriously question what we and our children are being forced to believe by the schools and by society. I'll bet you the reviewer who called what is in the book "garbage" didn't even read it- probably skimmed and snorted through some of it, at best - and certainly didn't THINK about the hundreds of specific points, as well as the big picture, presented here. Also, the author wrote the book for informational value and not for profit, that's why it only costs $5 new, and only $1 each if you buy a box of $16. See the website evolution-facts.org.

I have always been interested in the Creation and Evolution debate! I love this handbook, so much material all in one handy book. It is clearly a handbook and not a textbook. An excellent reference book for everything you can imagine concerning evolution, so you don't just have to take the book's word for it, and you can check out the references copiously listed throughout the book and see for yourself. Also an excellent starting point for anyone doing a research paper in school or college on any topic related to evolution. You will get well your money's worth!

I've read this book online. It presents the same tired old arguments that have been debunked decades ago. This includes the moon dust argument, which doesn't even have anything to do with evolution. Most of the time this book tries to disprove evolution instead of proving their young earth claims. Only the scientifically illiterate would be convinced by this book's arguments. I recommend this book for those who are majoring in any scientific field, only because it's a good laugh.

I used to be a creationist, but now I see no problem integrating scientific facts with my faith. This book obviously does absolutely nothing in bringing me back to a belief in biblical literalism.

This book is very disrespectful to the scholars and scientist who worked hard to prove facts about evolution through research and mathematics. There is hard working people that spend there whole life experimenting, researching, and using mathematical equations to prove their facts about evolution. While this author just disrespects them by giving you misleading facts that falsely disprove their actual facts about evolution they worked so hard on.


This book has no scholarly sources backing up any of the facts. You learn you have to back up facts by a scholarly source in 9th grade! So why is there not one cited statement in a book that is trying to disapprove actually facts proved by scholars and scientist? Because the author has no facts backing his theories.

I don't care if you agree with evolution or not! You don't make up lies, and say that the people that have proved factual research are wrong, when you have no research to back up your claims. It's actually idiotic, and not very Christian like to produce a book of lies.

So please don't disrespect the people that spent there life doing the scholarly research to prove facts by buying this book to support someone who isn't a Doctor or scholar who claims that the actual Doctors and scholars facts are wrong.

I really wish creationists would at least have the intellectual vigor to come up with something new. Even if you exclude the usual misquotes and other dishonest arguments, Ferrell's book contains absolutely nothing that hasn't long ago been refuted by mainstream science. Frankly, I found the book to be a sad, pathetic diatribe that seems to have ignored the advances of 20th century science, let alone the discoveries of the 21st century. Even worse, books like this only make Christians look foolish in the eyes of rational people and are a big part of why a majority of young people today reject Christianity as a backwards, crackpot religion run by people who refuse to accept modern science. Ferrell's book isn't just bad, it only hurts the cause of the very people it is aimed at.

This is not a review of the actual content. This review is based strictly on the National Enquirer-style of type set, which made this book unreadable for me. At least one-third of it is either bolded, italicized, or underlined. I tried to read it anyway, but got the impression the author felt I was too stupid to decide what was important, so was leading me around by the literary nose, hence the font style. Further, everything was so crammed together, it was difficult to see where one topic ended and another started. I bought this book based on two enthusiastic recommendations. The style was so juvenile, however, that I would be embarrassed to hand this to a non-Christian trying to get a view of creation science. Try Genesis Flood by Dr John Whitcomb or In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood (7th Edition) by Dr Walt Brown instead.
