 In the Beginning Was Information: A Scientist Explains the Incredible Design in Nature
Dr. Werner Gitt
Retail Price: $13.99
CBD Price: $10.99
Buy 20 or more for $10.44 each.
( Available to ship on or about 05/21/13. )
Excerpt
Information - it's one of the most fundamental parts of our world, yet we don't often think about it. This classic book demonstrates the importance of information to life of any kind. More to the point, it demonstrates the necessity of an Organizer and Originator of the information necessary for life.
Dr. Gitt (If Animals Could Talk) argues that God is not bound by the laws of nature, but instead uses them for His own purposes. He also shows that the highly complex information present in DNA mitigates a non-intelligent beginning for life. He advocates for assurance when dealing with the Bible's information, that this collection of books is not only free of error, but that no useless information is present, as well.

 Darwin's Demise: Undeniable Facts of Creation
Joe White, Nicholas Comninellis
Retail Price: $12.99
CBD Price: $9.99
Buy 36 or more for $9.49 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
For young people confused about the contradictory messages they hear from church teachings and secular science, evolution can be intimidating. Although Darwin's efforts to attack Christianity have harmed society, creationists have solid evidence to expose evolution for the false philosophy that this is. Finally, a brilliant defense of Genesis and the Bible's teaching about origins and purpose is waiting for high school and college students who realize that Darwinism is fraudulent faith masquerading as science. Authors Joe White and Nicholas Camminellis have a passion for truth, and for sharing it with youth and their parents. In Darwin's Demise, they succeed in showing why real science is burning down the House of Darwin.

 Peril in Paradise: Theology, Science, and the Age of the Earth
Mark S. Whorton
Retail Price: $16.99
CBD Price: $12.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
There is no lack of books that take a side and make a case for the age of the earth. Many excellent books are available that dig into nuances of Hebrew and esoteric scientific principles. There is, however, one important perspective missing, and that is the big picture. Why do Christians divide themselves so strongly on the issue of science and faith? Who do we "Bible-believers" oppose each other with animosity and heated rhetoric when it comes to the first three chapters of the Bible? The answer can be boiled down to one issue with far-reaching implications. Far beyond time, the young-earth and old-earth creation camps are built on two very different worldviews. Essentially the difference boils down to two small words: "very good." What did the Creator mean when He pronounced His creation very good? At its heart, the young earth movement is built on a sentimental notion of what a "very good" world must have been like. Whereas the young earth view sees the original creation as a pristine, perfect paradise with no possibility for suffering or anything unseemly, the proper ancient creation perspective sees the creation of this world as perfectly suited to the Creator's perfect plan. It was the perfect means to accomplish His perfect purpose - that is to glorify Himself. Peril in Paradise begins by developing a theological framework for an ancient creation that is grounded in conservative evangelical theology. Then it deconstructs the implications of the young earth paradigm - from scripture andscience - to demonstrate that it is internally inconsistent and contrary to sound theology. Finally the book thoroughly analyses the central issue - animal death before the fall of man.

 The End of the World and the Ends of God: Science and Theology on Eschatology
CBD Price: $58.44
( Usually ships in 24-48 hours. )
Table of Contents, Excerpt
Many people seem to think that eschatology and science have little or nothing in common, and that each speaks to a different realm of human reality. According to John Polkinghorne and Michael Welker, in the introduction to The End of the World and the Ends of God, the following three clichés about science and theology have contributed to this: - Theology deals with realities unseen, science deals with visible reality;
- Theology deals with feelings, science deals with facts;
- Theology deals--at best--with personal certainty, science deals with objective truths
This book is a convincing argument that the traditional view of the relationship between science and theology (and eschatology) is wrong. In fact, it argues that eschatology is one of the most suitable intersections between science and theology because "it will help clarify and cultivate the difference between truth claims in both fields." It also "enables us to formulate eschatological truth claims in the face of the finitude of the world." In addition, a dialogue between science and theology about eschatology "challenges us to work on the clear differentiation between the sustenance of the world and the new creation: to differentiate between infinity and eternity, between the mere totality of times and the eschatological fullness, and between different types of hope related to one or the other."
This compilation features essays by heavyweights in theology, science and eschatology, including John Polkinghorne, Michael Welker, William R. Stoeger, Hans Weder, Walter Brueggemann, Jürgen Moltmann, and others (for a full listing of contributors, click here). Part one looks at eschatology in the natural sciences, focusing on the inevitable (according to science) natural catastrophes and the hope that Christianity offers against them. In part two, the focus is on eschatology in the cultural sciences and ethics, with a particular emphasis on the shaping of eschatological thought. The third part looks at eschatology in the biblical traditions, and themes of the end-time. Part four examines eschatology in theology and spirituality, focusing on hope and eternal life.
This is not light reading, by any standard. It is truly thought provoking and insightful. Grasping its message of hope will take some effort, but the result will be amazing, causing you to continue to give an answer for the hope you have.

 The Creation Hypothesis
J.P. Moreland
Retail Price: $22.00
CBD Price: $15.99
Buy 28 or more for $15.19 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
For a century the reigning scientific view has been that God is not necessary to account for the existence of the world and of life. Evolutionary theory is said to be all that is needed to explain how we got here. In addition, many theistic evolutionists contend that God likely used many of the mechanisms of evolution to achieve his will. In this book J.P. Moreland and a panel of scholars assert that there is actually substantial evidence pointing in a different direction. First, they consider philosophical arguments about whether it is possible for us to know if an intelligent designer had a hand in creation. They then look directly at four different areas of science: the origin of life, the origin of major groups of organisms, the origin of human language, and the origin and formation of the universe. Experts on this panel were: Stephen Meyer, William Dembski, Hugh Ross, Walter Bradley, Charles Thaxton, Kurt Wise, John Oller, John Omdahl, John Ankerberg, and John Weldon.
