One can either take the Bible as the basis for scientific truth or use ever-changing evolutionary assumptions as the foundation for your biblical and scientific knowledge. The Bible-as-base model resolves contradictions and gives concrete answers; the evolution-as-base model is as unsure as building a house on sand. Ken Ham knows this, and wants to provide families and individuals with the answers to questions raised by the media's wholesale acceptance of evolution, be it human or cosmic.

Unafraid to take on the tough questions, Ham and the other authors he has assembled eviscerate notions of millions of years, gap theory, dinosaurs turning into birds, and a local flood. Moreover, they give the basic facts behind the Ice Age, distant starlight, carbon-14 and radiometric dating techniques, and the supposed proofs for evolution.

Perhaps best of all, and what sets this book above others of its kind, are the final two chapters which are instructional to evangelism. Showing how this information can be used in witnessing and how dinosaurs can be used in spreading the Gospel message as given in the Creation narrative. Adults, kids, believers, nonbelielvers, creationist and evolutions can all benefit from this resource.

I attended a conservative Christian college in the 1970s. The ethics teacher taught that there were no universal norms. The dean of the Bible department believed in ESP and UFOs. He hoped that there would be great discoveries in these areas that would lead mankind into deeper truth. The science department pushed a form of old earth evolution. The morals on campus were lax. If that is what it was like on a Christian campus more than 30 years ago, you can imagine what our modern secular colleges are teaching.

That’s why I recommend integrating The New Answers Books 1 & 2 into your high school student’s science, ethics, worldview, and elective readings. Biblically sound answers to tough questions have been carefully culled from some of the best scientists. Concise chapters cover a range of hotly debated topics. Book 1 begins with God and the credibility of the Bible; then quickly moves on to biblical responses to evolution, views on the age of the earth, Noah’s ark and the flood, ETs & UFOs, fossils, death and suffering, and more—and that’s just the warm-up! Book 2 goes even deeper, with more than 30 questions covering the origin of life, astronomy, the Big Bang, and the origin of evil; and even touches on ethical questions such as “How should a Christian respond to gay marriage?”

You could read dozens of other books to cover the same ground that Ken Ham has brought together in these two meaty but easy-to-understand volumes. These books will help protect our children from error, while preparing them for spiritual combat and enabling them to share and defend their faith on the campus and in the workplace. Approx. 375 pages each, softcovers.
