by Humberto M. Rasi, L. James Gibson

"What is Creation theory?" "Can I believe in a word-wide flood?" What about the Dinosaurs?" "Can a Christian be a good scientist?" Understanding Creation will provide answers to these questions and more for those who are interested in reconciling the interface between biblical faith and science.

Although they accept the Bible as a reliable guide to the past, these practicing scientists provide thoughtful, well-referenced answers to 20 important questions about science and faith. Instead of irreconcilable differences separating good science and practicing faith, or Gould's "incommensurate magisteria," they propose an honest, continuing dialogue between the two to the mutual benefit of both. Believers and skeptics alike will appreciate the authors' honesty, current reference lists, and may confront surprising challenges--such as recent findings of viscous hemoglobin and protein in the bone marrow of a T-rex femur.

Wonderful essays that prove the point that data does not determine interpretation, and different interpretations are just as plausible as common ones
