Creation and Evolution: Why it Matters What You Believe
Creation Points
by Colin Garner
GoodBookStall Review:
Sold in packs of five for £10.00
The first interesting feature is that it is in A4 format. The second is the amount of information that is in the booklet.
As I read through I found there was a good natural flow in looking at the whole issue and the implications of the Creation/Evolution debate. The author starts with the Bible, always the best place to start. He highlights that if we dismiss the first part of Genesis, the trustworthiness of the whole of the Bible is under question so what do we believe and what effect does that have on those we are evangelising to?
The book starts from a scientific viewpoint and gives an overview on both evolution and creationism in the context of being theories. It also highlights that there is a clear body of science to support creation; it raises flaws in the evolutionary perspective from a scientific viewpoint, an area that is missed or skirted around by some Christian writers. A point that can be missed, but is raised in this booklet, is to look at the impact that an evolutionary perspective has on the way society views moral issues.
A good read that gives an overview of the area and a great deal of useful information; there is a list of further reading to increase your knowledge. I would fully recommend it to read and keep.
