This should have been titled, "The Bible is a stinking pile of bull and this is why."
I don't mind reading books with evidence that the Bible didn't happen exactly as it says, that isn't the problem. The author comes across as a bigoted, intellectual elitist. His view is the only one that matters, and if you don't agree with it then that just proves that you are an uneducated, moron. Not only is he an elitist, but he is also terribly bigoted. He seems to be of the opinion that all white males wh...more

This book is very thought provoking. Now that I'm done with the 1st few chapters about the origin of human life I have started reading Creation about Charles Darwin to see how he thought about it. I like connections.
I loved this book!!!!! I've bought four copies and loaned them out and they never came back and I keep buying the dang thing. Fascinating read.

This book was a game changer in my thinking. It was the straw that broke the camels back in my shift from religious believer to skeptic.
A very good and entertaining discussion of archaeology, evolution, science, philosophy, and the universe in general! Scientific explanations of Biblical events are quite interesting, lending much credence to those events actually occuring and how they became great mythological stories. Certainly worth the time!!!
This is an amazing synthesis of disciplines attempting to explain the nuggets of stories preserved in the old testament, by exploring the plausible means by which those stories could have been partly true.
mentions almost every single pet interest i've ever had in one book. gripping read, sometimes infuriatingly self-congratulatory, very enjoyable.
great accounts of arceological finds and well known stories from the Bible and their connections
Accessible archaeology. Biblical speculation. Ruined cities. Wonderful stuff.
