Description: As one of Dr. Henry Morris's greatest works, A Biblical Basis for Modern Science shows conclusively that the Bible is correct where it touches upon science. This remarkable defense of the Bible allows the careful reader to see that evolutionary science is nothing more than a world view with no foundation. Rather, the accuracy of the biblical records is a marvelous testimony to its divine source.
Review Summary: The Biblical Basis for Modern Science/The Blind Watchmaker
Date: 2008-08-07
Details: There are two sides to every story and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I believe it's the same with Creation and Evolution and this review takes this approach on both books which I both give five stars. When it comes to Evolution Richard Dawkins' book "The Blind Watchmaker" does an excellent job of putting forward and explaining the case for evolution. Henry Morris in his book "The Biblical Basis for Modern Science" also does an excellent job of putting forward the creationist's argument for creation. I believe if you buy both these two books you will be able to see both sides of the debate and then you can make up your own mind where the truth lies.
If the Holy Bible is true then science will agree with the Bible and evolution is false because it contradicts the bible is the argument that Morris makes. But if Evolution is true then the science will agree with evolution and the Bible is wrong because it's incompatible with evolution which is the argument that Dawkins makes. What these two rivals agree on is that evolution can not be reconciled with the bible and the bible can not be reconciled with evolution so you need to take a side. I personally believe that two can be reconciled the solution is not to take the bible as a science book but a philosophical book. I say philosophical because to me, religion is meaningless.
Morris' argument is as follows: Science is about observation and experiment and since evolution has never been observed or tested then it's not science but with that said God has never been observed or tested either in fact, the bible makes it very clear God is not to be put to the test so that's a bit of a moot point if you ask me. Dawkins' argument is that design is not a good explanation because it begs the question who designed the designer. But if you believe in only one God as some do then it can't have a designer because that implies there is more than one.
But I don't want to get into a debate here for this is a highly contentious issue and I apologise if I have offended or upset anyone as its so easy to do. All in all, these are two excellent books and I believe if you buy these two books you will have both sides of the story and then you can make up your mind where the truth sits.

Details: Henry Morris does an excellent job of explaining what those in the naturalistic community and reviewers on here that hate christianity do not want the world to know, that is true testable science does not refute the bible. Since any arguments against the one constant taught in this relativistic world that is not allowed to be debated, naturalistic evolution, are not allowed, readers must turn to sources such as this book to get the real scoop on how things possibly occured. Do not be put off by the reviewers that slam this book because of their agenda. It is an excellent read for those of a scientific mind and even those that are not highly scientific. I would wholly recommend this book.
Review Summary: Thought-provoking, not insightful
Date: 2003-11-16
Details: The one plus of this book is that it did, indeed, get me thinking more about science as it relates to the Bible and Christianity. That's, unfortunately, the only reason I give this book a second star. Henry Morris maintains his biased and closed-minded faith throughout the book. I have faith myself, but I can't help but to question Morris' logic and conclusions. He speaks of the impossibility of the universe being actually a "multiverse". He speaks of "facts" that we "know" based on what we've learned from science and religion; however, how do we know for sure there isn't more than one universe? His logic makes a connection to prove against the idea of multiple equally-powerful gods (i.e. God and Satan), but doesn't successfully disprove a pantheistic view of multiple gods in some sort of god hierarchy having one god of gods. The ancient Greeks and Romans could've had it right based on his theories and ruminations. If you want to read something that will make you become a devil's advocate and never truly get any insight, read this one, but don't expect any answers or logical conclusions.
