Wow!

By A Customer on September 12, 1997

Format: Paperback

This book is filled with scientific evidence that is thoroughly DOCUMENTED, Something that the first review says otherwise, and cannot back up. It strikes an incredibly serious blow to the theory, answering many questions and causing more blows to the theory of evolution through the fossil record than any other book I know of. The facts stated in this book are almost universally documented from secular sources, as cited at the bottom of every page (including every quote). People can look these up and judge for themselves.
-A must for anyone who considers studying anything about the fossil record!

Ridiculous Use of Quotes and Facts!

By A Customer on August 25, 1998

Format: Paperback

Wow! I have NEVER seen this level of lies thrown so fast since my school was visited by a "Creation Science" preacher! Some of his arguments are so ridiculous as to be completely nonsensical. At one point Gish compares the plight of creation science to that of Galileo... carefully omitting that Galileo had to fight against church doctrines to get the truth out. Using outdated quotes and facts she tries to prove that Evolution is utterly wrong. Anyone who actually considers this information factual should read the original edition, which has even more ridiculous claims. Of course, those claims were left out in this edition, I wonder why... A good companion book is "Science on Trial: The case for Evolution" as it destroys the arguments presented in "The Fossils say No!" and presents a factual basis for its own.

A good case study in poor intellectual practices.

By Michael Catalano on July 19, 2004

Format: Paperback

Firstly, I should say that I am a born-again Christian, and do subscribe to the notion that there is an ultimate creator. I do not subscribe to the young-earth creationist belief.
Having read Coppedge's "Evolution: Possible or Impossible", "It Couldn't Just Happen", "Scientists Confront Creationists", and "The Creationism Controversy", and having browsed the websites of several creationist organizations as well as the Talk Origins site, I thought I would read Gish , as he along with Henry Morris are considered by most to be the most important and influential young-earth creationists.
My overall impression is that the objections to Gish that are well-rehearsed in many places are justified.
The biggest problem is the classic "false dichotomy." Gish claims to be able to show that evolution is false, therefore young-earth creationism must be true. Even if Gish could prove that evolution was false, this would not necessarily mean his brand of creationism was true. One would have to evaluate Gish's creation model independently to see if it holds up under scrutiny.
Gish's tactic is essentially like saying in a legal setting that if we can prove defendant A is innocent, then we would be justified in picking anyone we like off the street to be defendant B and concluding, without even having a trial, that B must be guilty.
Gish spends much of the book arguing that there are no transitional forms, and that these forms must be produced by evolutionists before they can conclude that their theory is worthy. Certainly many evolutionists would argue and have argued that a multitude of transitional forms have been found, and that Gish is either unaware of them or deliberately ignores them.Read more ›

Easy to read, informative answer to evolution

By A Customer on November 28, 1998

Format: Paperback

The evolutionists reviewing this book are generally easy to spot. As a former evolutionist, I can tell you--the book is not as full of bull as most evolutionists will insist. A realization that the fossil record cannot account for creation invokes fear and hatred from those who hold that theory dear. This book does a fine job bringing that theory into question with consistent focus on the lack of evidence in the fossil record. As Gish aptly states, the fossils don't support the theory.

A good source, but not infallible.

By Robb Massey on May 15, 2000

Format: Paperback

Although the first half of the book is very useful, the section dealing with paleoanthropology is not very reliable. For example, Gish STILL believes that homo erectus was 100 percent ape, while it clearly cannot be. In fact, fellow creationist Marvin Lubenow in "Bones of Contention" believes homo erectus to be 100 percent human, which, I believe is a much more believable assessment, as the characterisitics of H.E. fall in the "increasing" range of modern humans. Despite a few errors such as these, however, I found the book to be rich in facts. While evolutionists do not agree on all things, I do not think it is fair to discredit this book and all the material it contains because the author is a creationist. Donald Johansen and Richard Leakey may disagree on the role that homo habilis may have played in human evolution, but that does not mean one of them is filled with "wicked" lies. Because Gish is a creationist, many have responded in this way. Furthermore, as I read the reviews people have written (on Amazon), I cannot help but question the grounds by which many make their claims against the book. I continuously see reviews that say Gish is a liar. It is one thing to make a claim like that, but it is another to actually document and show why this is so. One remark of the book I continue to hear over and over is the repeated claim that Gish believes and states that the precambrian rocks do not contain fossils. While this is true of his 1972 version of the book, this print is updated (1995), and this claim is no longer made. Furthermore, Gish even argues with very good reasoning, that the presence of precambrian fossils makes the scenario even worse for evolution.Read more ›
