5.0 out of 5 starsI loved "Understanding Creation"
By Clay Mckinney on February 3, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've bought a lot of theology books in my time. Some end up on my shelf, and I tell myself I will read them some day. Some, I read a chapter or two and then watch as it descends to the bottom of the pile by my bed. This one, I read straight through, and was sad when it ended so soon.
In my denomination, to be a deacon or elder, you must subscribe to the authority and infallibility of scripture. But my denomination understands that there are several ways that men of faith have read Genesis, without compromising infallibility. This book presents all of these ways fairly, and shows the strengths and weaknesses of each perspective without making fun or judging anyone. Not that the authors have no opinion on these things. It's pretty clear that they are coming down on the old earth, local flood, no macro-evolution side of these debates. But they present all points of view respectfully.
The book was very informative for me. There are about 5 camps in the intramural debate, and I had only really been exposed to two of them.
The book also spends some time on the varsity debate, by which I mean the debate between Creationist of any stripe and Naturalists (Atheists) who say there was no God involved in the process at all. This was very solid material as well, but it is a "Quicksource" guide, which means it's a short summary overview of our best arguments.
Any Christian who feels their faith is challenged by the assertions of naturalists, or who feels locked into a view of Genesis that just won't fit with their own observations of nature, should read this. There is strength here for your faith that will not bind your conscience.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent creation reference book
By John Hansen on November 3, 2008
Format: Paperback
If you have read Whorton's book "Peril in Paradise", you know the wonderful way in which he presents Bible and science discoveries. The same is true for Hill Roberts website Lord I believe.com. Both men are working scientists and Bible scholars who love Gods word and see His hand on creation. Although both men are Old earth creationists, they have done a very respectful job of presenting both the Young and Old earth positions, as well as the Theistic and naturalist evolution explanations for creation. The book also contains a detail review of relevant Bible scripture and several ancient creation myths. This is an excellent reference book on creation...the best I have seen.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Most Unbiased and Enlightening Read on Creation You'll Find
By Jeffrey D. Barnett on May 8, 2009
Format: Paperback
I found this book extremely balanced, informative, and broad. It does a great job of briefly addressing almost all common questions that Christians interested in science may encounter. It does not deviate from a position of the Bible being the infallible Word of God, but examines all popular worldviews and exposes the strengths and weaknesses of each. You will probably learn some weaknesses of your own worldview, as I did, but the authors do not intend to convince you of any view in particular. The book is strongest in its balance and educates impartially. An absolute must read for the scientific believer.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Excellent Resource
By Dr. Timothy D. Wise on November 1, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a very good resource for Christians interested in understanding the science behind the creation-evolution/age of the earth debates that often divide churches. Many of the books by creationist organizations paint scientists as the enemy and divide congregations based on science education background (Where can a scientist find a church home in the evangelical world?) but this book avoids the stereotyping and attacks on character and presents a sober discussion of the facts and the strengths and weaknesses of the different viewpoints. One thing that impressed me about the authors themselves was their own professional scientific knowledge. One of the co-authors performs radiometric dating tests (Carbon dating, Neon-Argon, and the rest are forms of radiometric dating.) himself and describes the process in a way nonscientists can understand. The book is packed with information, but it presents it in short chapters with a lot of illustrations so it isn't intimidating to the lay reader. It includes discussion of the relevant Bible passages, going into the Hebrew behind the words. These authors apparently split the difference by leaning toward old earth creationist view rather than young earth creationism on the one hand or theistic evolution on the other, but they do discuss the other viewpoints as well. As a university professor and a Southern Baptist, I am very pleased to recommend this resource to students, educators, and church leaders.

3.0 out of 5 starsAlmost True
By anluwa on November 29, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The author compares theories for the creation of the world from the secular world with the facts given in the Bible about the world's creation. He almost always looks on the Biblical facts as being the truth. There are one or two times he thinks the theories are more realistic than the Biblical fact.

By K. Johnson on July 6, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a great book giving a fair overview of the most common points of view on creation. The authors include background on perspectives from ancient cultures and the historical church. They discuss the points in favor of and challenges to overcome for theistic evolution, young earth creation and old earth creation. The book is written at a high school level and includes many colored pictures and illustrations. I would highly recommend this book as an introduction / overview for those interested in understanding creation and the various perspectives which are commonly held.
