Clarity in a world of confusion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book does an excellent job of presenting an overview of the different veiws from both sides of this debate. Hayward's science and his reasoning are as clear as any I have read on this subject. It was very refreshing to me to read an author on this topic whom I trusted was not projecting a bias. If you are a well educated scientist, you will appreciate the depth of Hayward's arguements, and if you are not, you will appreciate how accessible his reasoning is to you as well.
A solid presentation showing christians aren't anti-science
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
With the psuedoscience and poor biblical interpretations of young-earth creationists dominating the world's view of Christians, Hayward's rational and biblical discussion shows how Earth is ancient and darwinism is false. While young-earthers resort to emotionalism (i.e. the no death before Adam tautology, which violates common sense and physics), Hayward is reasonable and scholarly, yet easy to understand.
A must-read for thinking Christians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have always wanted to find a book that would present clear arguments for Creationism that explained recent scientific understandings in astronomy, geology and biology. Dr. Hayward addresses every argument in the Creation vs. Evolution debate and suggests a position that is harmonious with recent science and a respect for the authority of the Bible. I could not put the book down!
Debunking the young earth.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The author is a physicist and was a practising scientist, he is British and therefore he writes from a slightly different perspective to the books coming out of the USA. The most significant part of the book is the section on the age of the earth where he looks at the young earth arguments and demolishes them quite effectively. It is also significant that in the same year (1985) another book written in the USA by the physicist Don Stoner also debunked the young earth arguments. Hugh Ross in his 1994 book Creation and Time exposed the same fallacies as well as demonstrating the cosmological arguments for an old universe. All young earthers should read Hayward's book. "Claiming that the Bible teaches a young universe only adds an unnecessary stumbling block to those who are sceptical about the faith." - Matt Perman.
Well written, cogently argued old-earth presentation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Hayward argues that the case for a very old earth is overwhelming, but the case for the evolution of species is weak and unproven. He attempts to quote evolutionists in context, which has not always been the case. He presents a history of Christian thinking on science and the Bible, and shows that there were many prominent scientists who were Christians and believed the above 2 theses prior to the 1950s. Hayward argues that the Creation Science movement is not staffed by scientists recognised as experts in the fields in which they do battle with the scientific world.The book is well worth reading, whatever your convictions about the creation-evolution debate. It is one of the very best books available on the subject.
