An information dense but fascinating read.

  1. Meyer's books are interesting reads, and I think the way he presents the arguments, though not specifically recognizing our Creator God, are solid, presenting complex scientific evidence in a relatively easily understood manner. And while his writing is directed towards the theory of Intelligent Design, so as draw minds to his work and to purchase his books, intelligent design can ONLY posit that in fact it is our Creator God whose handiworks we are enjoying and discovering. Though I have not read this book, his other books have been quite compelling.

    1. I did read this book and it has made me think about his reasoning ever since, in many different ways and contexts. Well worth the investment of time to read it.

    2. I read it and it blew me away. It does a fantastic job of explaining the complexity of DNA and cellular mechanisms that read it, reproduce it, and use it as the instructions to build other cellular mechanisms.

    3. I have the book and the Audio version, I've listened to him going back and forth to work (about an hour a day). Excellent documentation for each of his arguments.

  2. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

    1. Yep,, I think a coupla weeks camping, hiking, fishing and working with a few people who know how would help some people See.
      Some people will never.
      How anyone can be alive and believe it's All just a Happy Accident I'll never understand.
      The backbone of evolution is survival of the fittest. Evolution is encouraged by The Winners being prolific. Evolution is supposed to leave the Evolved resulting creature being more likely to thrive. So, how did it benefit the monkey to ditch his pelt? That hair protects. It makes living outside survivable. The monkey is now exposed to the elements. Now the monkey has to make clothing, build shelter. How can anyone who pushes evolution not see the disconnect?

    3. That's it? That is all you got? That is how you justify not believing in God?

    5. Let him who has ears to hear, hear.... and eyes to see, see, none are so blind as those who will not see, nor as deaf as those who will not hear.

  4. Read it. Compelling science, math & fact based argument for creation and science-based demolition of the “science” of evolution.

  5. I have a copy sitting on my dinning room table right now. Brought it to Liberia for a student who has an inquiring mind.

  6. Tornado in a Junkyard is a good everyman's version....good to give teenagers when the Meyer book would be too much.

  7. @Justin_O_Guy. Shirley, the backbone of evolution is survival of the most adaptable? At times of drought, famine, natural disasters, or climate change, it may not be the strongest who will survive them, but rather those creatures who were more able to adapt to the changes.
