This is the third and final installment of five more books for my suggested Bible-Science Starter Library for personal libraries and for church libraries. The 15 books in this starter library are rich brain food on Creation, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Rock Layers, Fossils, Dinosaurs, and Noah’s Flood. Reading them will boost thinking skills, strengthen Biblical convictions, and superbly prepare you for great conversations with questioning believers, unbelieving friends, or any truth seekers. See Bible-Science Starter Library 1 and Bible-Science Starter Library 2 for the previous two installments of five books each.
Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins — Percival Davis and Dean Kenyon
Of Pandas and People is a supplementary high school biology textbook that presents origins information from multiple areas of biology including origin-of-life studies, biochemistry, genetics, homology, and paleontology. It discusses pros and cons of two competing interpretations of this biological data — evolution and intelligent design. The authors distinguish between hard data and interpretations of data. To develop thinking skills, they encourage students to draw their own conclusions about how well data fits each explanatory model. For any reader, not just high-schoolers, the book is interesting and accessible with material presented at two levels — a light overview and an in-depth treatment. Percival W. Davis is a biologist and the author of several biology textbooks. Dean H. Kenyon is Professor Emeritus of Biology at San Francisco State University and an ex-evolutionist.
Darwin’s Enigma — Luther D. Sunderland
Where’s the evidence? That is Darwin’s enigma. No fossil evidence exists that shows one kind of animal gradually changing into a different kind of animal (macro-evolution). Darwin’s theory of macro-evolution still has not been proved after countless millions of dollars spent on research in universities worldwide for 160 years! This incisive, non-religious text by aerospace engineer Luther D. Sunderland quotes from his interviews with leading evolutionists who express skepticism over many aspects of evolutionary belief.
hypothesis that is riddled with countless
scientific fallacies. . . . There is an abundance of
impressive and convincing scientific evidence
which can be used to justify an
intelligent faith in Biblical Christianity.”
—Dr. Scott Huse, Computer Consultant
The Collapse of Evolution — Scott M. Huse
This book is well-organized, interesting, and understandable. Dr. Huse’s three-fold purpose is to expose scientific fallacies of evolution, to present scientific evidence for Biblical creation, and to demonstrate that evolution and creation are contradictory and irreconcilable. In this introductory-level book, Huse, an educator and computer consultant, builds his case with examples from geology, paleontology, physics, astronomy, mathematics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology. Huse concludes, “Evolution is an unreasonable and unfounded hypothesis that is riddled with countless scientific fallacies. . . . There is an abundance of impressive and convincing scientific evidence which can be used to justify an intelligent faith in Biblical Christianity.”
Replacing Darwin: The New Origin of Species — Nathaniel T. Jeanson
Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson effectively refutes Darwin’s evolutionary claims using the latest genetics research that is proving Darwin wrong. In this book Jeanson presents a compelling alternative for the origin of species based on Biblical creation. He explains how modern results of research in genetics challenge the evolutionary model of origins but confirm the Biblical model. Dr. Jeanson holds a Ph.D. in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University where he did stem cell research.
Here’s an hour-long video of a talk by Dr. Jeanson on the subject of his book. In this thought-provoking presentation, Jeanson explains historical and scientific reasons why Darwin should be doubted and what new scientific evidence has arisen to challenge Darwin.
The Ultimate Proof of Creation: Resolving the Origins Debate — Jason Lisle
In this book Jason Lisle uses a presuppositional approach to defending Christian faith instead of the more common evidence-based approach to apologetics. Lisle shows how to use evolutionists’ own presuppositions to reveal the fallacies of their arguments. He shows that only the Christian worldview is a logically consistent explanation for the world. This is a strong defense of the Christian faith emphasizing the literal Genesis record of the creation of the universe in six regular days. Dr. Jason Lisle is an astrophysicist.
Ten books for this Bible-Science Starter Library were listed in the preceding articles, Bible-Science Starter Library 1 and Bible-Science Starter Library 2. The 15 books of this Bible-Science Starter Library document the paucity of evidence for Darwinism and the plethora of evidence for Creation. Evolutionism is not science; it is atheistic naturalism masquerading as science. True science points to God. Biblical Creationism is soundly supported by scientific evidence, logical reasoning, and Scripture.
