The classic work from the president of the prestigious Institute for Creation Research, this book details, in layman's terms, how we can have confidence in the plain-sense meaning of early Genesis. Morris studies geology, culture, and various creation theories to give a true picture of Earth history. Explodes popular misconceptions about the age of the earth by exposing the shaky reasoning behind radiometric dating; Morris's discussion of these fallacies alone is worth the price of the book. Helps readers understand that fossils are dated to vast ages by calculating that the soil they are found is is millions of years old--a startling "trade secret" among evolutionists. Includes a CD for PowerPoint presentations.
