Origin by Design

by Harold G. Coffin, L. James Gibson, Robert H. Brown

In search of evidence for design, the authors leave no stone unturned. After surveying the Genesis creation and flood narratives, they examine coal beds, fossil tracks, mass extinctions, glaciation, volcanism, carbon 14 dating, rates of mutation, and Neanderthal man, looking for clues to the age and origin of life on earth.

With copious illustrations this updated revision incorporates new advances in plate tectonics, turbidity currents, and recent geological catastrophes. A wonderful science-based textbook and reference for the question of our beginnings.

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn’t rate it with four stars because I agree with everything in this book - but it’s a fantastic illustration of how creation scientists can engage in real scientific research and dialogue with those they disagree with. Apologists and other obnoxious argumentative Christians would do well to learn from the authors if only in their humble measured tone and claims.

Sincere, but lazy and pseudo-scientific
