Summary: An important book but does not adequately address science.
Review: Ham makes a rather good *spiritual* argument for rejecting the evolutionists' ideas about how we got here, but he never truly argues on scientific grounds. On tough questions, he remains sketchy at best and unconvincing or even mistaken at the worst. I actually already believe that the Bible is the single most authoritative source of our knowledge about the Earth's formation and life's beginnings, but this book did little to reinforce my arguments other than state the obvious: namely, that if the Biblical foundations for our beliefs in Creation are eroded, then all of Christianity is on very shakey ground. This foundational argument is, of course, important, but if you are looking for answers and explanations for questions that any intellectually honest person should struggle with (e.g., What about the dinosaurs?, Why vestigal organs?, Whence Cain's wife?, etc.), this book leaves you unsatisfied. It's also liberally illustrated with hokey pictures that do nothing to enhance Ham's argument and everything to make the book look more like Children's fiction. In short, buy this book if you are a Christian who is struggling with just how much emphasis the Bible puts on Creation and whether or not it is important enough a question to matter much in our doctrinal views (and it is.) Don't buy this book if you are looking for a tool to enhance your arguments for Creation science. It will not help you there.

Summary: Excellent Overview.
Review: This book provides an excellent overview of an alternative to evolution. If you only know one side of an argument, how do you know you are on the right one? Use this as a concise reference to proceed into other books with greater depth and focus.
