Description: From leading scientists, lawyers, and educators—a decisive rebuttal to those who undermine science in the name of religion.
In a time when creationist textbooks continue to appear in classrooms and the president of the United States encourages educators to "teach both sides" of the argument, Scientists Confront Creationism presents an accessible defense of evolution and a blueprint to save public education in this country from the dangers of pseudoscience. With sixteen essays from some of the most important advocates in the field, including Kevin Padian, John R. Cole, and Wesley R. Elsberry, Scientists Confront Creationism reveals the persuasive evidence for evolution and the bankruptcy of the creationists' claims. While telling the history of creationism in America, this powerful collection eviscerates "intelligent design" and reveals the newest tactics taken by antievolutionist proponents. As long as science requires public advocacy, this highly intelligent treasury of scholarship will remain an essential resource for students, teachers, and open-minded citizens. 12 illustrations.

Description: The debate between proponents of Darwinism and those of Intelligent Design has reached the status of a full-scale public battle. With stories of qualifying statements about evolution in public school textbooks and the recent 70th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey trial in the news, the question about our origins will not be put to rest. Following up his award-winning Doubts about Darwin, Thomas Woodward traces the continuing saga of the ID movement in Darwin Strikes Back. Focusing on the emerging key players on both sides--Michael Behe, William Dembski, Kenneth Miller, Robert Pennock, and more--Woodward helps readers navigate the tangled maze of public debate, including anti-ID activism from Christians, and shows them what might be coming next.

Description: Darwinian theories of the universe, although mostly rejected by evangelical Christians, have still found their way into creation theology. A concept such as evolutionist creation has watered down much of the Bible’s teaching in order to reconcile with popular tenants of science. The whole controversy swirls around the age of the universe. Dr. Kurt Wise, an associate professor of science and director of the Center for Origins Research and Education at Bryan College, shows from solid biblical teachings and scientific confirmation why young universe creation is correct. Beginning with God and His Word as the standard, Wise demonstrates how the biblical witness teaches that the age of the universe is not as old as Darwinian theory would contend. He also demonstrates how all issues raised by evolutionists can be answered not only by the Bible, but also by scientific data and research, nailing shut macroevolution’s coffin.

Description: The face of creationism has been through some major plastic surgery in the past decade or so. The leading proponents of "intelligent design theory" have left the ranting flat-earth types behind and found respected positions in the academic world from which to launch attacks on mainstream science. Philosopher of science Robert T. Pennock has explored all sides of the ongoing debate, which remains (despite the protestations of many creationists) more about biblical inerrancy than scientific evidence. His book Tower of Babel examines the new directions antievolutionists have taken lately, but goes beyond a mere recounting of recent history by proposing a new avenue of counterattack: linguistics. The parallels are striking once we look closely: Genesis proclaims that God created all human languages at one stroke, while modern scientific thought proposes linguistic evolution similar in form to genetics. Best of all for scientists, though, linguistic change is much more rapid than biological change, and we have actually observed what might be called "speciation events" to have occurred historically in languages. While not meant to supplant traditional arguments against creationism, Pennock's ideas certainly supplement them and will be useful to educators and researchers alike. His sense of urgency is compelling; he sees the future of scientific education and freedom at stake and argues strongly for a separation between private beliefs and public knowledge. --Rob Lightner

Description: When actor Richard Dreyfus gazed up into the heavens during the hit film, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," audiences looked with him, in rapt attention. "Alien" encounters cropped up like, well, crop circles. More films were released. Books detailed alleged "abductions." NASA funded SETI, an effort to make contact with civilizations from other worlds. But is all this valid? Are there really alien civilizations in our vast universe? In Alien Intrusion, Gary Bates gives a thorough treatment of this fascinating subject. What is behind the numerous sightings from around the world? Does the U.S. Government have evidence of alien craft? Can we hope to mkae contact in our lifetime? The author comes from an unapologetic Christian perspective, but lets the facts speak for themselves. His expertise on the subject and ability to 'cover the bases' has earned widespread respect - even from many in the 'UFOlogy community' who may be uncomfortable with the startling conclusions to which he inevitable leads the reader. This was especially evident during an amazing three-hour interview with George Noory on Coast to Coast. This invaluable book will help Christians understand the issues, and be able to intelligently answer questions and engage in dialogue with a culture sure were are being watched from space. Heavily illustrated with photographs and drawings - an amazingly comprehensive 'cutting-edge' look at the UFO abduction phenomena.

Description: This powerful resource answers the age old cosmology debate and includes within its pages: • A brief history of scientific cosmology • The big bang model, including origins of stars, planets, and life • The creation model, including the views of Moses and Jesus • Other cosmological models, including future trends • The errors in evolutionary time scales, time indicators, and ages • Appendixes and comprehensive index In modern times, the Bible has become increasingly disconnected from most Christians’ understanding of the real world. Cosmology — the way we think about the universe — has come to be totally dominated by secular beliefs, such as the big bang. Many Christians, including prominent leaders, have therefore felt compelled to “reinterpret” the Bible in the light of big bang thinking. To its credit, the big bang is an interesting and worthwhile scientific theory, and it is the best candidate that materialists have been able to put forward to this point to try to explain the universe without God, but it is demonstrably inadequate, to say the least. Big bang theory cannot explain the origin of the universe or of the significant objects within it (i.e. galaxies, stars, planets, and people). Big bang theory contains no credible or consistent naturalistic cause to explain what we see. Dismantling the Big Bang reveals these scientific and philosophical weaknesses at the core of big-bang thinking and the contradictions to which they lead. Written on a level that laypeople can understand, it comparatively shows the intellectual superiority of the history of the universe given in the Bible as a basis for our thinking about the cosmos. We need to rediscover how to think about the universe in the only way that makes sense — from God’s perspective, in the light of the history given in His Word.

Description: Fr. Dumitru Staniloae provided a broad basis for pursuing an intellectual dialogue with modern society, especially in the area of the humanities, and armed with such a perspective, he went beyond a mere cultural or sociological understanding of Orthodoxy. Because each generation - and not just that of St. Maximus the Confessor - has its own Ambigua, the theological heritage too must submit to the hermeneutic of renewal and development, which in turn leads to a new form of transmission - Tradition. For Fr. Staniloae, this exegetical openness of the Tradition is the genius of Orthodoxy. Fr. Staniloae was convinced that any theological development of the theme of the World represents in fact a new discovery of the active presence of God in human history and cosmic creation. Theological reflection leads to the experience of God, and vice-versa. Theology is a witness to the presence of God, and it implies a moral and spiritual responsibility.
