a heck of a good book, interesting and informative

I never thought I'd give a 5-star rating to a book written by a Creationist, but I did. This book is about a Federal case in 1981, testing the Constitutionality of a recent law requiring balanced instruction in Creation Science and Evolutionary Science in the Arkansas public schools. In an issue as heated as the Creationism and Evolutionism, the author is probably as unbiased as anyone can get. The author is of the opinion that the judge was prejudiced against Creationism from the beginning, and even devotes a chapter to that position, but balances this by publishing the judge's decision. The author says that the Creationist position was unjustly treated by the news media, and offers news clippings to prove it. The author also contends that the Attorney General did an unsatisfactory job in handling the case, but balances his view with an essay written by the Attorney General in his own defense. Testimony by the witnesses is recounted impartially, as far as I can see. Readers of either persuasion can learn something by reading this book. Now if you will excuse me, I must get back to writing a manuscript on Creationism and Evolution. I can't wait to see if a Creationist gives ME a 5-star rating!
