1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Science, Bad Theology, December 8, 1999

By	KP Stark (California) - See all my reviews

Perhaps the most honest of the creationist books Morris has published, The Remarkable Birth of the Planet Earth makes it absolutely clear creationism is actually nothing more than fundamentalist Christianity masquerading as science. Consider the following quote from the book:

"The only Bible-honoring conclusion is, of course, that Genesis I-II is the actual historical truth, regardless of any scientific or chronologic problems thereby entailed." -- Henry Morris, The Remarkable Birth of the Planet Earth, p. 82

In other words, no scientific fact is allowed to take precedence over Morris's interpretation of the Bible! That works in church, but it isn't science. In fact, Morris himself argues that scientific investigation is unnecessary when the Bible already has the answers!

"The only way we can determine the true age of the earth is for God to tell us what it is. And since he has told us, very plainly, in the Holy Scriptures that it is several thousand years in age, and no more, that ought to settle all basic questions of terrestrial chronology."-- Henry Morris, The Remarkable Birth of the Planet Earth, p. 94

It's truly remarkable that anyone could call this kind of thinking science, but this is exactly what "scientific creationism" is all about. This book belongs on the shelf of everyone who wonders if there is any science in "creation science." A quick re-read will quash any doubts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read other Morris, April 7, 2008

By	Cougarjack "Cougarjack" (Houston) - See all my reviews

This is a great little book to read on Creation. This is one author you can trust when it comes to the subject. Treat this little book more as a summary, however, of certain issues. Don't just rely on this book. I suggest reading the "Genesis Record" or "The Genesis Flood" for further details. As a quick little guide, its good for a new reader or an introduction. The earth and all that is in it is certainly remarkable, but even more remarkable is the Creator that is shown through Creation.

"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:7-10

5.0 out of 5 stars The Remarkable Birth Of The Planet Earth, July 10, 2000

By	Dean Flowers (Glendale AZ USA) - See all my reviews

As a student of Creation vs Evolution, I have read many books, documents, etc., about this subject. The Remarkable Birth Of The Planet Earth by Henry Morris demolishes Darwinism and proves it to be mathmatically and scientifically IMPOSSIBLE!! Get this little book before it's too late. Read it, read it again. You'll be glad you did. Signed Dean Flowers
