A war -- the creation-evolution controversy -- is being waged today in the classroom, the courts, and the press. Advocates of both sides frequently do more to escalate the war than they do to understand each other. Into this battle John Wiester brings a unique study that compares the entire creation account of Genesis 1 with the latest scientific evidence. This book draws upon impeccable and up-to-date scientific resources to present the major events in the history of the cosmos, the planet Earth, and life upon it. Two important elements provide the basis of this study: The author focuses on the scientific evidence actually discovered as opposed to the theories of naturalistic causes to explain the evidence; the fundamental issue being addressed is not creation versus evolution, but a worldview that starts with a creator versus one that has no creator. After a thorough study ranging from the beginning of the universe in a Big Bang to the creation of human life, the author concludes that scientists are now furnishing substantial evidence that the biblical account of Genesis 1 is an accurate historical account of creation. - from Amzon
