One of the worst books I've ever read
This book is horrible. I am not writing this review as a disenchanted uniformitarianism, but actually as a Christian scientist. It is the attitude of such men as Mr. Whitcomb that the myth of the ignorant Christian is perpetuated. In his book, he attempts to disprove science by simply dismissing it, rather than actually addressing the issue. It is by skirting the issue that he hopes to make his impact. Also, he uses italics and exclamation points heavily, which is a sign of emotional, rather than sound, scientific logic. Whitcomb must learn that in order to disprove science, you have to use science. I would not ever recommend this book, unless you are morbidly curious to read such an atrocity.
