This title on "creation-evolution" is very enjoyable to read, it is more like a novel than a science writing. The author, who has been present at the first nuclear explosion at Jornada del Muerte in the New Mexico Desert during WWII, exposes his view in different manners: some of this book is auto-biographical, some of it is some kind of a dialogue, other parts are abundant with science information, and others could be philosophical or historical essays. The data is not really new, but I must mention that the author recognizes that the some of the creationist interpretations are in the state of speculation.

Just 16 years since publication -- amazing how quickly these claims/arguments have fallen by the wayside.

This is a great summary of the issues of religion, science, and origins. Mr Sewell writes agreeably and reasonably with ample notes for further digging. Recommended reading!
