Lot of interesting info, but fewer than half of the chapters are engaging and/or seriously useful. The title does not follow most of the content. Most of the book is disjointed. While a couple of the chapters I would read again, I would only do so to read the individual chapter. The book does not flow from beginning to end. Honestly, ICR, CMI, and AIG just take the field in this case.

I started this book several years ago and found it difficult to stay engaged. It seemed rather repetitive but the point was made that academic fields like archeology and geology are often unreliable because they often disagree with those in their disciplines and rely on unfounded and unprovable assumptions. To wander too far from the accepted premises is to risk banishment from funding, advancement and acceptance among colleagues.
I picked it up again recently and finished it to find that as the book came to an end, the author offered some encouraging points for those who reject evolution and hold firmly to a Biblical view of the creation of the universe. While both evolution and creationism rely on faith in something that cannot be scientifically proven, evolutionary teaching falls short because of the many ways that it has been shown to be false. The book turned out to be an interesting volume and one that could serve as a valuable resource in the ongoing debate between the two sides.

At this point perhaps a bit dated, but it presents a wealth of interesting information organised topically. I will be using it in future as a conduit to further readings on this subject.

Another one bites the dust. Not finishing this book.

Written in a more accessible and engaging style than I was expecting, based on the book's subject matter and length. But after reading a few dozen pages, I realized I'm not interested enough to plow through this book. I already know a lot of what he's going to say, and it's a bit of "preaching to the choir" anyway.

Not to mention that I find it hypocritical to criticize evolutionists for beginning with their preconceived notion(s) of how the universe came to be, while doing the same thing.

Well, there's at least one benefit of me ditching these books: our church's library is growing by leaps and bounds. :0)
