This book is great. It's full of simple experiments that demonstrate the laws God set into place. They describe the experiments and explainations in an easy to understand language. By the way, they are fun too!

This book is full of short & hands on experiments! I wouldeven suggest it for younger kids 5-8 as well. Almost all materials canbe found in the home already, and if not, they are inexpensive to buy. This is great for any family on a tight budget! People who believe in Creation vs. Evolution have every right hold to our beliefs. Contrary to what you may believe, most of us teach evolution (AS A THEORY) in addition to our own belief in Creation. We do not ignore the fact that everyone has a right to their own beliefs. We do not brainwash our children, but rather present ALL worldviews. Please refer to the age group suggested... This book is not designed to teach Einstein's theories!

My family really enjoyed reading through this entertaining book and trying the experiments which reinforced the lesson being taught.

I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers who want to show their children that God is the Supreme Creator and how wonderfully He made everything around us. I know that "evolutionists" and "big bang theory" types will probably not care for this book - but maybe they should still read it. I find that it takes a lot more faith to believe some of science's theories of creation than it does to believe in a Supreme Creator! :-)

My children I love science! We just love to see the amazing small details that God infused into all His glorious creation. However; that said, We really do not like this book. It is disjointed and the experiments have been very poorly explained. The "funny conversations" between the caracters in the book have little to add to the fun or knowledge of my kids. Science has gone from something they looked forward to to something tedious!! I am looking for a substitute today. Science is anything but tedious and such an amazing opportunity to magnify God.Very disappointing.

I think the complete title of this book sums up the purpose of this book "...Science Experiments that show God's power in Creation!" I admit I had difficulty making some of the relationships between the days of the creation and the experiments. But this book is for younger children, not for our children that we are trying to teach the actual principles of science. This book introduces our children to science, the process of doing an experiment and gives you some commentary that isn't evolutionary based. It is fun, not complicated science.

We checked this book from our library. It is a wonderful starting point for teaching your young children science. The text also exhalts God in the process. To sum it up, this book is a very fun way to introduce your young children to science and reinforce to them that God designed it all.

This book is one of the worst attempts at 'creation science' I have ever seen. The experiments described are the average run-of-the-mill kind that family magazines print for children to try at home. In this less ambitious forum, they succeed in describing the universe in a scientific manner. However, the book comes nowhere close to showing any power from a great creator. The experiments are described, and the following text might as well say "God didit, cool hey?". There is no flow from experiment to an explanation as to why it gives any evidence for a god. For this reason, it fails on the cover. These are *not* science experiments showing anything other than magnetism and how the planets orbit the sun, to name a few. God does not enter the logical flow at all, but rather watches from the sidelines. I would have liked to give it zero stars, but this option was not available.

The book arrived promptly and was packed and shipped to arrive in good condition. I was surprised that there were markings in the book and some parts had highlighting. I had expected the book to not be as "Used" but perhaps I am not familiar with the description terms to understand what to expect.

This book is not science. It's religion trying to pretend it's science to persuade children. What a joke.
