Creation Facts of Life

In his calm and simple manner, Gary Parker lays out a well-written overview of the evidence for creation. He intersperses the examination of the scientific evidence for creation with brief anecdotes about how he gradually gave up his own belief in evolution. Parker outlines the complexities of life that are unsatisfactorily explained (if at all) by evolutionary theory. Evidence from molecular biology, gross anatomy, genetics, mutation and selection, fossils, and geology are compared from an both evolutionary and creation standpoint. An important feature of this book for new readers to the creation/evolution controversy is the discussion of scientific data that creationists and evolutionists agree upon, yet how certain explanations differ. His non-aggresive approach will even allow skeptics to give fair consideration to the evidence without feeling attacked. Parker also shows important contradictions among evolutionists that witness to the weakening of some long-held theories. This book is a great introductory read!

After reviewing and reading a number of books on creation vs. evolution, I chose this one as a "textbook" for a class on the subject. The book is short and easy-to-read. Parker writes clearly, succinctly, and convincingly. If you ever thought that science had all the facts, and creationists had all the faith, you may discover the roles are reversed!

I started reading this book with scepticism, especially since the world has adopted Darwin's theory of evolution as irrefutable! The so-called scientific facts re Darwinism that we are regularly bombarded with are revealed as mere theories, that lack even adequate scientific proof. Yet we have been accepting these theories as gospel for decades! One has to wonder at the ethical mores of the scientists that are aware of the shortfalls of this theory, yet continue to propogate it. This book also offers various other theories for the readers to digest, yet does not pinpoint a specific theory as absolutely and irrefutably correct. Well-balanced, thought-provoking and a deserving a prominent spot in anyone's bookshelf!

This book is well worth reading by those with an interest in the debate between evolutionists and creationists. Dr. Parker writes clearly and presents the evidence succinctly.

I couldn't recommend this book any more! It is highly scientific and filled with facts, yet easy and very fun to read. Focuses on areas such as biology, fossils, flood geology, basics, etc.
