A Book You Need To Read On This

[gr4p34p3]

I read a book called "Defeating Darwinism" that my fiance's parents gave to me, and it really helped me out on sorting out the evidence for both sides on the evolution vs. creation situation. I highly recommend reading it. It opened my eyes and helped me tune up my "balony detectors" for invalid arguments. Has anyone else read it? I read it, and I am a pure creationist now. You may want to read it as well.

Oh my. Well, I'm certainly glad you're reading. However, as a balance, I'd suggest you read, say...Futayama's Evolution, or if you don't wish to read a college text, Gould's last book (whose name sadly escapes me) is a pretty good overview.

Failing either of those, you can feel free to discuss what you felt where the key (to you) portions of the book.

Since you say your baloney detector is now finely tuned, maybe you'd be interested in the following reviews of Phil Johnson's work:

I would also recommend reading "The Blind Watchmaker" by Richard Dawkins or "Evolution & the Myth of Creationism" by Tim Ebbers.  These pretty much debunk the common arguments set forth in pro-creationist books.
