The New Answers Book 1: Over 25 Questions on Creation/Evolution and the Bible

Still trying to read. Ordered a new one in hopes that the book is in better shape!

The book is written in easy terms so most everyone will understand and is meant to be an introduction to the topic of creation. The book answers questions such as "Is there really a God?", "Could God really have created everything in six days?", "Does radiometric dating prove the earth is old?", "Does archaeology support the Bible?", "Hasn't evolution been proven true?" and more. There are thousands of technical books written by scientists that back up the information in this book. You can listen to the long rantings of the bad reviews and let your mind be made up for you, but you really owe it to yourself to find out what the other side has to say. Let me give you one fact...There are literally hundreds of dating methods and about 90% of those methods do not give dates which are acceptable to evolutionists (huh? why not?)...and 100% of the dating methods is based on assumptions. The dating method Mr. Ken Ham talks about in his book is the dating method that is used by secular institutes, scientists and the like.

Compiled by Answers in Genesis, the world's largest apologetics ministry, The New Answers Book: Over 25 Questions on Creation/Evolution and the Bible presents the fundamentalist Christian perspective upon the debate of creation versus evolution versus intelligent design. Founded upon the core principle that the Bible is God's Word and can be trusted implicitly, as opposed to the changing theories of fallible mankind, The New Answers Book gives a strict Biblical interpretation of the existence of fossils, carbon dating, UFOs, the question of death and suffering, and much more, with a handful of black-and-white illustrations. "If one allows science (which has wrongly become synonymous with evolution and materialism) to determine our understanding of Scripture, then this can lead to a slippery slope of unbelief through the rest of Scripture. For instance, science would proclaim that a person cannot be raised from the dead. Does this mean we should interpret the Resurrection of Christ to reflect this? Sadly, some do just this, saying that the Resurrection simply means that Jesus' teachings live on in His followers." A cogently written account that straightforwardly and unabashedly makes its case.

Sorry, I'm still laughing at Carl's misguided misquoted twisting of the Book of Job below!! Please leave Biblical hermeneutics to those who know what they are doing. Read Carl's review below for humor - read The New Answers Book for an awesome handling of this Creation/Evolution issue. I'm not sure too many Evolutionists are aware of the Scientific Dissent from Darwinism - which one can Google to read about. Nearly a thousand scientists from all across the nation (Stanford, Yale, Smithsonian Institute, just to name a few places) have signed the document stating that Darwin's theory is flawed, misguided and indefensible. Despite this, Evolutionists still love to mistakenly claim that Creationists have neither real science nor any real scientists behind their views. Sadly much of the public is following the rest of the lemmings off of the cliff on this issue. The evidence presented in this book is quite compelling (unless you choose to close your eyes to it) and evidence given that dinosaurs co-existed with man is simply undeniable. I've still yet to hear an Evolutionist give a good reason for the dinosaur footprints found alongside of human footprints in the Paluxy River bed, near Glen Rose, Texas. Many other great topics are covered as well such as starlight and time, the fossil record and carbon dating just to name a few.

This book will place at your fingertips helpful ideas to check out for yourself. The other intolerant and unkind reviewer was obviously grinding the proverbial ax. I have a copy of the unrevised book and found it very thought provoking in how it pointed out the very real problems with the model of Darwin as well as presenting lots of scientific data for an alternate view. It takes far more faith to believe the twisted evidence presented by Darwin's current followers than to believe the evidence from those who cite scientific evidence for some sort of intelligent design. Ham is not a ranting Bible thumper. He is coming with real ideas and evidence.If this updated version is anything like the former issue it will deal with most the main sections of the debate and give you a good heads up. Dembski and Behe will go much deeper, but Ham is a good, real good, place to begin. As for the dinosaurs living at the same time as man, you owe it to yourself to see the evidence for this. You will not get the real story presented by anyone sympathetic to the Darwin model. I seriously wonder if the only reason evolutionists do not accept this and other similar arguments for a younger earth is that it would remove the incredible amounts of time that evolutionists think they must have for the impossible scenario of all the many missing links to somehow connect. I give it 5 stars as an strong introduction to the subject, which is what it is. I'm ordering it today and will update my review if it's not at least as good as the earlier edition.

This book offers common-sense answers, from Scripture and science, to oft-asked questions. Nothing is more farcical than some of the negative reviewers who are known to be atheists, yet have the temerity of accusing this book of limiting God. I take that back--the claim about there being 3 literal interpretations of Genesis is ludicrous in the extreme. A little illustration, in fact, will show the absurdity of those who argue for the Days in Genesis being long periods of time: Use this Day-Age illogic elsewhere: Did the Lord spend 40 actual days or 40 long periods of time fasting? Did Jonah spend 3 days and nights in the big fish, or did Jonah spend 3 long periods of time in the big fish? Was our Lord 3 days and nights in the tomb, or was He physically dead for 3 long periods of time? Get the drift?
