5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE textbook for creationist apologetics., July 14, 1999

By A Customer

I have used this book extensively to teach classes, write papers, and debate issues. The bibliography is as valuable as the book. The reason Ian Taylor is able to cover such a wide range of subjects, in such depth, is the list of hundreds of qualified proffessionals, whose works he cites. I have yet to find a case of him embellishing the facts in the original documents to make his point.Unfortunately this is a common practice on both sides of the debate, but I have gone to many of the documents that he has cited and have invariably found him to err on the side of caution. There are many great books available on the subject, but if you can only fit two books about The Creation onto your shelf, make them the Bible and IN THE MINDS OF MEN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and balanced, June 21, 2002

By	M. Gregory Fletcher (TORRANCE, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the New World Order (Paperback)

This was truly a delight to read. It was Insightful and well reasoned throughout. An excellent creationist apologetic that asks the right questions about history and humanity thereby setting the right course for the objective viewing of the subjects involved. I really enjoyed the depth and quantity of insightful information the author used to draw out his conclusions. He was addressing questions that not everyone would think to ask. Also, it had the feel of a historical expose with its bits and pieces so tightly knit together into a singular focus, defining the issue and arriving at the Truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of information, October 12, 1998

By A Customer

This book has a great breadth and depth of information.

On the one hand it is fascinating to read the historical perspective on the Creation/evolution debate. On the other hand it goes into sufficient scientific detail on issues such as the age of the earth to give a layman's understanding of the issues.

It is an unfortunate fact that the current scientific evolutionary bias means that much evidence is ignored or belittled. Though creationist in tone, this book seemed to me to present the facts in an open and unbiased way.

Equiped with such knowledge, one is able to recognise the bias and shallowness of certain information from some pro-evolution sources, such as the talk.origins faq. (I actually looked at both sources for information about a particular dating method. Suffice to say that I won't return to the faq when looking for full and unbiased information.)

I anticipate that I will be using this book as an important reference book in the years to come.
