A thorough review of the debate of young-earth creationism versus old-earth creationism. This book affirms the Bible as the ultimate authority. The authors assert that the debate of young earth vs old earth creationism is ultimately an issue of whether or not a person can trust the word of God from the very first verse and acknowledges that both sides use their worldview to support their argument.

The authors present the arguments of each side in the form of a court trial. They do so in a way that makes the arguments understandable to the average reader. It is a great introduction to the topic.

I would recommend this book for middle school or high school students or adults who would like a better understanding of this popular debate.

This book calls the Church back to the authority of Scripture rather than trusting our own methods and ideas.

Many fallacies pointing to an old earth are explained and proven to be false.

Good science does support the biblical time scale.

After reading this book your confidence in defending the biblical view of a young earth will be strengthened.

This book is a great resource to have

This is an excellent book on the debate of young-earth creationism versus old-earth creationism. One of the main goals of the authors in presentation was to lay out the arguments of each side while maintaining the readability for the every day reader. They accomplish just that. I would be confident handing this book to either an upper elementary student or an adult and both being able to walk away with a greater understanding of the subject matter.

The book is brilliantly set up as a court case with the young-earth position as the prosecution and the old-earth position as the defense. Responses are the witnesses which are cross-examined against the Scripture. The three main arguments that are focused on include the age of the earth, the extent of the flood, and scientific evidence. I greatly appreciate how everything mentioned was always pointed back to what Scripture says. The Appendixes are a great resource for anyone looking to dig deeper into arguments covered within the pages of this book.

I really enjoyed this book and walked away with a greater understanding of this popular debate. It challenged me to dig deeper into this topic and to understand how important it is to be more educated on issues such as this one. And more important, to always return to Gods Word and to know and understand what it says.

Reader if you need an introductory lesson to Progressive Creationism. It goes through the main points on the topic I think it is made to gear the 7th grade reading level this book is very easy to read and understand. It exposes the fallacies and strawman arguments passing by the old Earth Creationists. I will be buying some of this book to gift to other that I know, when I can.
