Modern Creation Trilogy: Gift-Boxed Set

by Henry M. Morris, John D. Morris

Utterly fascinating, The Modern Creation Trilogy is the definitive work on the subject, and a must for anyone interested in the study or origins. Read about the easy capitulation by theologians confronted with Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories, or the mysterious Babylonian creation story, Enuma Elish. Find out what the Bible says about dinosaurs, Noah's flood, and Christ's firm acknowledgement of the importance of Genesis. This project covers all the bases, and as a beautifully bound set, makes the perfect gift for believers and even unbelievers. Volume One: Scripture & Creation - 232 pages - Evidences found throughout the Bible for special creation. Volume Two: Science & Creation - 343 pages - Examines only the scientific facts. Volume Three: Society & Creation - 208 pages - The effects on society of a pervasive evolutionary philosophy.

[Russell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I waited until finishing all three volumes before commenting. The subject matter is so important. I agree with the conclusion that the Gospel is completely false and worthless if evolution is true. The stakes could not get higher.
I liked how they broke this series down in the three volumes. One for giving Biblical truths and explanations. While great stuff, it could never be enough to take the approach of "the Bible says it, so that's enough for me."
Volume Two, while not using one verse of the Bible, shows the weakness of evolution, using science, heck, using quotes from evolutionists themselves where inconsistencies abound.

Volume Three was actually my favorite. How evolutionary thought has impacted society. Morris does a fine job of connecting the dots to show how "evolutionistic" thinking has led to some of the world's greatest horrors.

Not exactly an easy read, sometimes tedious reading quote after quote, but the finished product left me with a better understanding of both positions. I fall into the camp of Creationism and I am thankful that works like this exist to show that there does exist rational thought in belief of a Creator. I know culture doesn't believe this to be true, but I'm glad I can point them to resources like this.

Morris covers a wide range of topics in these three volumes, from hard science to theology. He admits early on that the miracle of creation is beyond the reach of science (i.e. cannot be proven), but he sets out to show that evolutionists are in the same quandary--since transpeciation has never been observed, and since evidence for it is largely absent from the fossil record. Most of his arguments are good, and he's willing to acknowledge difficulties for creationists where they exist; my beef with the trilogy is, despite the fact that it was published in 1996, many of the quotes Morris uses from evolutionists are from the 1970s and 1980s. I've kept up with the debate enough to know that no definitive "proof" for evolution has been discovered since the book was published, but it would be nice to know of some of the more recent arguments in the field.

I was pleasantly surprised at the compelling, detailed critique of evolutionism offered by this book, and at a very understandable reading level for the non-scientist! I highly recommend it! Non-judgmental (although occasionally sarcastic, in a professional ribbing kinda way), fair, rigorous, objective, and humble - attributes everyone should have when addressing natural phenomenon which no man has ever observed directly!
