Evolution/Creation Resource List
- Behe, Michael, J., Darwin's Black Box, The Biochemical
Challenge to Evolution, The Free Press, 1996. Behe is Associate
Professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University. Suitable for the scientist
or non-scientist, this book will challenge the staunchest evolutionist.
See Behe's web page at www.intelligentdesign.org.
- Denton, Michael, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis,
Adler & Adler, 1986. Denton, a physician and molecular biologist,
provides a stinging intellectual attack on evolution. This book is
one of the classics on the topic.
- Gish, Duane T., Ph.D., Creation Scientists Answer
Their Critics, Institute for Creation Research, 1993. This book
was written primarily for the scientific community. Their newsletter
is a good way to keep current on this topic (phone: 619-448-0900).
Web site: www.icr.org.
- Ham, Kenneth A., The Lie: Evolution, Master
Books, 1997. While most of the other books on this list are written
from a strictly scientific point of view, this book is written from
the point of view of the biblical book of Genesis. Web site: www.AnswersInGenesis.org.
- Johnson, Phillip E., Darwin on Trial, InterVarsity
Press, 1993. Johnson is a graduate of Harvard and the University of
Chicago, and is a professor of law at the University of California
at Berkeley. This book is a landmark book. It is a lesson in logic
that has rocked the evolutionary establishment. See Johnson's web
page www.origins.org.
- Johnson, Phillip E., Defeating Darwinism by Opening
Minds, InterVarsity Press, 1997. Johnson, in this book, is concerned
with the question of how to determine truth, whether it be in science,
religion, or other endeavors.
- Johnson, Phillip, Reason in the Balance, The
Case Against NATURALISM in Science, Law & Education, InterVarsity
Press, 1995. In this book, Johnson discusses the startling implications
for society resulting from the predominate view of origins.
- Kennedy, D. James, Why I Believe, Word Publishing,
1980. Kennedy is a Christian theologian who uses reason and evidence
to defend Christianity. This book is an excellent summary of several
essential doctrines of the Christian faith.
- Lubenow, Marvin L., Bones of Contention, A Creationist
Assessment of Human Fossils, Baker Book House, 1992. Considered
the most complete and accurate critique of the fossils of the so-called
ape-men, this book demolishes the myth of human evolution. Since evolution
is often thought of in terms of "ape-men," this book is
a good place to begin reading.
- Moore, David T., Five Lies of the Century,
Tyndale House Publishers, 1995. This is a highly recommended book.
It covers evolution, but much more as well to challenge one's pre-conceived
politically correct notions. The hypothesis given about the prehistoric
earth and the biblical flood is fascinating (Chapter 11). It is well
suited for readers of any background.
- Moreland, J. P., editor, The Creation Hypothesis,
Scientific Evidence for an Intelligent Designer, InterVarsity
Press, 1994. This book is a collection of essays, largely concerned
with the philosophy of science. While beyond the interest of most
readers, it is included on this list for those scientists and members
of academia who want to begin to explore concepts that can be expected
to dominate philosophical thought in the 21st century.
- Morris, John D., Ph.D., The Young Earth,
Creation-Life Publishers, Inc., Master Books Division, 1994. Geologist
Morris uses a popularized format for this interesting topic.
- "Mount St. Helens, Explosive Evidence for
Catastrophe," Institute for Creation Research, P.O. Box 2667,
El Cajon, CA 92021. This is a wonderful video, suitable for classrooms,
church groups, or anyone interested in creation. Other videos are
available from the Institute.
- Parker, Gary, Creation Facts of Life, Master
Books, 1994. Parker has a doctorate in biology, with a cognate in
geology (paleontology). A former evolutionist, Parker spent three
years re-examining the evidence before giving up his "deep-seated
belief in evolution" and concluded, like thousands of other scientists
in recent times, that the biblical framework is the more logical inference
from our scientific observations. Excellent for high school classes.
- Spetner, Lee, Not By Chance! Shattering the
Modern Theory of Evolution, The Judaica Press, Inc., 1997. A Jewish
physicist, Dr. Spetner's book uses primarily probability science and
concepts in microbiology to demonstrate that the neo-Darwinian theory
cannot be true.
