Search for understanding
If you have a mind that is interested gaining knowledge and understanding on issues that define who you are, then read this book. If you have a mind that continues to refuse knowledge unless it fits your narrow prejudiced assumptions, please don't buy this book. Continue to walk in darkness. If God does not exist, why are people trying so hard to disprove him. Unless.......

I love dinosaurs
A welcome challenge to keep Christians thinking about evolution and its implications.

It is difficult to understand how a human mind could believe this rubbish.
What a waste of money.There is no information in the book just the assertion that every word in a collection of old writings shared by the Abraham's religions is true. So that makes science wrong.Well dream on.

Add this to your library
It is a shame that oberon1996 does not do proper research regarding Christianity and the New Testament. It is an all too common ploy to focus only on things in the Old that they do not truly understand.As to this book, read it, add it to your library. Also, notice that abuse, name calling etc are all too common in those who disagree with creationist worldview; this is because they have no true rational response.

Ken Ham - the Stout Hearted Gladiator of Genesis
Iniquitous and somewhat downcast, I borrowed this tome from the local library but sadly I did not get a chance to read it properly - the kook-o-meter was going off in the background. Even so, I have immense respect for Professor Ham or whatever he calls himself nowadays. I can only dream that one day he will publish a book on the Holy Hand-Grenade of Antioch.Now we have all heard of those expeditions to Mt Ararat in Turkey. Those tight-lipped evangelicals must have bottomless pockets and inexhaustible faith but he who endures until the end shall be saved. Strangely indeed, for all their efforts the Ark has yet to be located. In my opinion, we need to recalibrate the search - after all, it was a world-wide flood.Here in Victoria, there is another Mt Ararat on the highway to Warragul (this is true). It is only a hundred meters high. Like Mt Everest, there is a Second Step to be surmounted (usually by walking up the other side of the hill). My friends, it is time to launch another expedition. There is a petrol station nearby where we can load up on supplies like grog and smokes. There are plenty of Tiger snakes in the vicinity - who knows, perhaps Satan himself will adopt such a guise to thwart our quest. With prayer, fasting and pious ejaculations, I am confident we can locate the holy artefact somewhere on this crag. Best of all, perhaps some poop will be found on board from our old friends Triceratops and T-Rex, thereby upholding the contention of this inimitable thesis.Erroneously, I thought that truth was mightier than mere fact but there you go. Praise the Lord and pass the coprolites.

Complete and utter nonsense
Fortunately, I have rarely had the misfortune to read such a biased and ill-informed book. The author has stated nothing, not one single fact, in this book that stands up to any kind of impartial - i.e. non-religious - scrutiny. Basically, he accepts without demur and as incontrovertible fact everything stated in the Bible - arguably the most edited and selectively modified book ever compiled - and summarily dismisses virtually everything which has been demonstrated to be factual by modern science. The dinosaurs, he claims, didn't exist 65 million years ago, but 6,000 years ago, a simply ludicrous assertion than can be instantly disproved not just by paleontology but by almost every other scientific discipline from geology to meteorology.His thesis, if this collection of rabid nonsense can be dignified with such a description, is that the Theory of Evolution has no more validity than the Theory of Creationism. Quite apart from anything else, this proves conclusively that he has no clue what the word 'theory' actually means in a scientific context. 'Theory' means a collection of accepted facts, backed up by appropriate empirical evidence, all of which leads to a conclusion which makes sense and which appears to be the most likely explanation for those observed facts. The 'Theory of Creationism' is simply a statement that the Bible is right and everyone else is wrong, and makes no more sense than a 'Theory of fairies at the bottom of my garden'.The style of writing will be familiar to anyone unfortunate enough to have to listen to a preacher on a regular basis, being patronizing in the extreme, and clearly written from a point of view of enormous self-belief and absolute certainty that he is right and that, by implication, everyone else is wrong. Most unpleasant, in all respects.I've always been an advocate of free speech, but it's this kind of book that really makes me wish we could bring back censorship and book-burning, because this is just pure and utter ill-informed nonsense, and has no place in today's world.
