OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!

Starlight and Time by D. Russell Humphreys, Ph.D. (Creation Life Publishers, Inc., 1994; ISBN 0-89051-202-7). In this book, Dr. Humphreys puts forth a cosmological theory consistent with the first chapter of Genesis , relativity theory, and current knowledge of black holes/singularities. Gravity time dilation and the cosmological constant are used to explain how the light from distant stars could have travelled billions of light years during the passage of a only a few days from the earth's reference frame. The proposed theory is consistent with and explains the background microwave radiation and the red shift of galaxies. This is must reading for anyone who has struggled with the starlight and time question. A video tape of a lecture by Dr. Humphreys is available from Creation Science Fellowship, Inc.; P.O. Box 99303; Pittsburgh, PA 15233-4303; (412) 341-4908. There is now a Starlight and Time video available.
A Brief History of Eternity by Professor Roy E. Peacock (Crossway Books, 1990; ISBN 0-89107-573-9). This is a creationist response to Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. Professor Peacock challenges Hawking's model of a universe without beginning or end (finite without boundaries) by showing that the Second Law of Thermodynamics must always be obeyed.
The Earth, the Stars, and the Bible by Paul M. Steidl (Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company, Phillipsburg, NJ, 1979). Mr. Steidl, an astronomer with an M.S. degree, cites much evidence for a young Earth and solar system. He uses several chronometers: meteors, comets, dust on the moon, the earth's magnetic field, various geochemical processes, radioisotopic dating, and more.
Age of the Cosmos by Harold S Slusher, D.Sc. (Institute for Creation Research, 1980; ISBN 0-932766-03-X). In this technical monograph, Dr. Slusher discusses clusters of galaxies, Oblers Paradox, the speed of light, comets, the Poynting- Robertson Effect, and Saturn's rings from a creationist perspective. The possible existence of Riemann (curved) space as an explanation to the starlight/time question is presented.
Astronomy and the Bible, Questions and Answers by Donald B. Young (Baker, 1988; ISBN 0-8010-2991-0). This book contains answers in layman's language to over 100 questions about astronomy and the Bible from a creationist perspective. The meaning of terms such as "black hole" and "quasar" are explained. What the Bible teaches about astronomy is discussed.

Creationism

Doctrine of Creation Bible Study by Professor Gary Locklair
Reaping the Whirlwind by Rosey Dow (Winepress Publishing, 2000; ISBN 1-57921-296-4). This historical mystery retells the story of the Scopes Trial (so called "monkey trial") which took place in Dayton Tennessee in 1925. While some of the characters are fictitious, the story line surrounding the trail is completely factual. The logical behavioral outworkings of an atheistic evolutionary worldview is explored in the characters of the story. The book is entertaining, educational, and thought provoking.
Tornado in a Junkyard, The Relentless Myth of Darwinism by James Perloff (Refuge Books, 1999, ISBN: 0-9668160-0-5). This comprehensive, up-to-date, and well written book by a baby-boomer and former hippie/evolutionist/atheist/Marxist is for the Christian and non-Christian alike. Mr Perloff deals with the fossil record, abiogenesis, alleged evidence for human evolution, the Flood, the ice age, radiometric dating, the Big Bang theory, dinosaurs, the Scopes Trial (infamous "monkey" trial), and the social/philosophical/political/moral consequences of evolutionism. There is also a section on the great scientists of the past who were creationists (Newton, Pascal, Pasteur, etc). The book is well documented and has numerous and rare photographs. But be careful, as the back of the book declares: "Warning: This book may change your life!". Available at amazon.com
Answers with Ken Ham is a collection of Ken Ham radio broadcasts on CD. The broadcasts cover topics such as the age of the earth, tree ring dating, and other creationist themes. Available from Creation Science Ministries.
Genesis Part 1: Establishing Your Foundations [ Precept Ministries , P.O. Box 182218; Chattanooga, TN 37422; phone: (423) 892-6814] - If you want to find out for yourself the meaning of Genesis, this inductive Bible study is for you. Work through the text verse by verse while studying the original hebrew words and grammar. Compare your interpretation will commentary provided by ICR staff (Henry Morris and Duane Gish).
Scientific Creationism by Henry M Morris (Master Books,1985; ISBN: 0-89051-003-2). This book is an excellent introduction to all aspects of creationism including scientific and theological issues. If you are looking for a place to start or just want a concise yet comprehensive overview, this is it.
The Biblical Basis for Modern Science by Henry M. Morris (Baker, 1984; ISBN 0-8010-6178-4) Dr. Morris clearly explains what the Bible teaches us about the natural world and universe and then demonstrates the harmony between the Bible and facts of science. This comprehensive work touches on astronomy, cosmology, geology, biology, paleontology, the Flood, ethnology, thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, and anthropology.
The Genesis Record by Dr. Henry M. Morris (Baker Book House, 1976; ISBN 0-8010-6004-4). This book is a verse by verse commentary on the book of Genesis written from a scientific and theological perspective.

Evolution

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (ROMANS 1:19-20).

Unlocking the Mystery of Life (Illustra Media, 2002). This video summarizes much of the Intelligent Design movement's arguments. The concept of irreducible complexity is explained with state-of-the-art-graphics. William Dembski, Michael Behe, Phillip Johnson, Dean Kenyon, Jonathan Wells, Stephen Meyer, and others appear in this video.
No Free Lunch by William A Dembski (Rowman and Littlefield, 2002, ISBN: 0-7425-1297-5). This is an update of Dr. Demski's work on the detection of design. He discusses in detail the Explanatory Filter (design detection via the contingency, complexity, specification criteria), the Law of Conservation of Information. Evolutionary algorithms, computer programs which allegedly mimik evolution via natural selection and generate complex information, are shown to merely smuggle in the information they purportedly generate. The concept of irreducible complexity is also refined and shown to be useful for detecting design.
How Now Shall We Live? by Charles Colson and Nancy Pearcey (Tyndale, 1999; ISBN: 0-8423-1808-9). This book shows how the materialistic/evolutionary philosophy of the West has lead to a breakdown in society at all levels. Colson uses a "creation, fall, redemption" filter to evaluate competing worldviews and thereby shows Christianity fits the real world best. He describes the effects of materialism on law, social policy, education, pop culture, art, psychology, the family, sex, politics, and ethics. He diagnoses society through the lens of a biblical worldview and then offers real solutions and alternatives.
In Six Days edited by John F. Ashton, Ph.D. (Master Books, 2001; ISBN: 0-89051-341-4). This book includes the scientific and theological testimonies of 50 current Ph.D. scientists who all believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis 1, especially with regards to a literal 6 x 24 hour creation week. These scientists come from various backgrounds personally and scientifically. Many are converted evolutionists. Included are physicists, chemists, geologists, engineers, information specialists, medical doctors, biologists, meteorologists, and mathematicians.
Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth by Jonathan Wells , Ph.D. (Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2000; ISBN: 0-89526-276-2). Dr. Wells (who holds a Ph.D.from UC at Berkely in molecular and cell biology) clearly explains how many of the "proofs" (icons) of evolution being taught in current secondary school and college biology textbooks have been disproven, are fraudulent, or are speculative at best. More disturbing is that many leading evolutionary scientists are fully aware of this but have done little to correct the situation. Indeed, some feel that introducing such "controversial" revelations into the classroom, though true, would only "confuse" students. The "icons" include the Miller-Urey experiment on the the origin of life, Darwin's tree of life, homology of vertebrate limbs, Haeckel's embryos, Archaeopteryx, peppered moths, Darwin's finches, horse evolution, and human evolution. See an online debate between Dr.Wells and evolutionist Massimo Pigluicci in which Icons is discussed. See presentations given at the debate by Dr.Wells and Dr.Piguicci . Also, consider buying the video .
Refuting Evolution by Jonathan Sarfati (Master Books, 1999; ISBN: 0-89051-258-2). This book is a response to the National Academy of Sciences' Teaching Evolution and the Nature of Science, a recent attempt to persuade educators to teach particles-to-people evolution as fact.. Dr. Sarfati (Ph.D. physical chemistry) discusses many of the points contained in Teaching Evolution in light of up-to-date findings in the scientific literature. He deals with the problems of missing links, bird evolution, whale evolution, human evolution, the information content in living things, big bang theory, and dating methods. He tears down the straw man that creationists deny biological change by clearly distinguishing between micro and macro evolution.
Intelligent Design : The Bridge between Science and Theology by William A. Dembski (InterVarsity Press, 1999, ISBN 0-8308-1581-3). William Dembski holds Ph.D.s in mathematics and philosophy. He puts the detection of intelligent design on an empirical basis by use of a "contingent, complex, and specified" information (CSI) criteria. He developes the Law of Conservation of Information which states that the information content of a closed system can not increase but can only be transmitted or degraded. He demonstrates that natural processes plus chance (e.g. the Neo Darwinian mechanism of chance mutations acted upon by natural selection) are inadequate for the production of CSI and as an explanation for the origin of life. This work firmly places intelligent design on a scientific basis which can not be ignored. Click here to download a PowerPoint slide presentation of this book.
Not By Chance! Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution by Lee Spetner (The Judacia Press, Inc.,1998; ISBN 1-880582-24-4). Dr. Spetner persuasively shows through sound theoretical calculations, population genetics, biochemistry, and information theory that the proposed Neo Darwinian evolutionary mechanism for macroevolution of random mutations acted upon by natural selection does not work. He cites many documented examples of where changes in the phenotype were a function of gene activation/expression and not associated with a change in the genome. He concludes that much of the alleged fossil evidence for evolution may merely reflect an organism's genetically built-in ability to respond to environmental factors by selective gene activation/repression and not by generation of new genetic information. Click here to download a PowerPoint slide presentation of this book.
Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution by Michael J. Behe (The Free Press, 1996; ISBN 0-684-82754-9) In this book Dr. Behe examines several biochemical systems and structures in light of the concept of irreducible complexity. A system is considered irreducibly complex if all of its component parts are essential to its function. Flagella, cilia, blood clotting, intracellular transport, and the operation of the immune system are discussed at the molecular level and shown to be irreducibly complex systems which could not have evolved in a gradualistic manner. The biochemical pathway which produces AMP is shown to be too complex to have arisen by chance. Intelligent design is offered as the most scientific explanation for these phenomena.
Evolution: The Fossils Still Say No! by Dr. Duane T. Gish (Institute for Creation Research, 1995; ISBN 0-89051-112-8) In this thoroughly revised and up-to-date edition of his book Evolution: The Fossils Say No!, Dr. Gish systematically shows the complete absence of transitional forms (missing links) in the fossil record. He discusses recapitulation, the origin of man, living fossils, alleged transitional species (e.g. archaeopteryx), punctuated equilibrium, and much more. Dr. Gish is perhaps the most effective debater for creationism today.
Creation Scientists Answer Their Critics by Duane T. Gish (Institute for Creation Research, 1993; ISBN 0-932766-28-5). Dr. Gish is at his best in this thorough refutation of evolutionary theory. He answers those who have accused creation scientists of dishonesty and poor scholarship and exposes the biased motivation often behind these attacks.
Evolution: A Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton (Alder & Alder,Publishers, Inc., 1986; ISBN 0-917561-05-8). Although Dr. Denton is not a creationist, he cannot accept traditional evolutionary theory. Taking a biochemical approach, Denton shows that the amino acid sequences in cytochrome C from species spanning the entire biological world do not support the theory of progressive evolution of one species into another. The theory of punctuated equilibrium, advanced by Harvard paleontologist Steven Jay Gould, is also discounted. A rich discussion of the thought and life of Charles Darwin is intertwined with the discussion. He concludes by likening the theory of evolution to the theory of epicycles which eventually crumbled from the weight of the evidence against it. This is one of those books that is hard to put down. Read a Michael Denton Interview .
Evolution...Fact or Belief is a 1 hour video created by CESHE (Cercle Historique et Scientifique; 9, Ave. Du General Leclerc, 59170 Croix-France) available from Master Books (800-999-3777). This comprehensive video demonstrates the validity of the young earth creationist position through interviews with an international panel of experts who discuss various topics including radiometric dating, the Grand Canyon, Mt. Saint Helens, gaps in fossil record, sedimentary layer and strata formation, genetics, and more. Experimental and photographic evidence for the possible rapid formation of sedimentary rock formations via a lateral deposition mechanism is presented which can acount for the order of fossils in the fossil record. There are many photographs and animations. They conclude that in light of the evidence, evolutionary theory is simply a "fairy tale for grownups."
The Mystery of Life's Origin: Reassessing Current Theories by Charles B. Thaxton, Walter L Bradley, and Roger L. Olsen (Philosophical Library, 1984; ISBN 0- 8022-2447-4) In this book endorsed by Robert Jastrow and Dean Kenyon, the authors discuss the problems of theories concerning the spawning of life from non-life. After a review of laboratory experiments aimed at recreating the primordial earth in hopes of generating simple life, the authors systematically present many of the problems which must be addressed before a materialistic theory of life's origin can be embraced. They suggest that although there is plenty of energy, there is no natural mechanism to do the "configurational entropy work" needed to build complex biological molecules.
Origins and Destiny by Dr. Robert Gange (Word Books, 1986; ISBN 0- 8499-0447-1). In this book endorsed by Eugene P. Wigner (Nobel prize in physics), Dr. Gange discusses the Second Law of Thermodynamics as it relates to information content and complexity. He demonstrates that the information content in a closed system (e.g. the universe) can only decrease with time and suggests that the information content of DNA is far greater than that of the universe outside of living things.
Evolution: Possible or Impossible? by James F. Coppedge (Zondervan, 1973; ISBN 0-310-22491-8). Dr. Coppedge's book discusses molecular biology and the laws of chance in non-technical language. The probabilities of forming DNA and proteins are discussed.
The Creation of Life-a Cybernetic Approach to Evolution by A.E.Wilder-Smith (T.W.F.T. Publishers, Costa Mesa, CA, 1970; ISBN 0-936728-1C, previously 0-89051-070-9).
TEXAS TRACKS AND ARTIFACTS: Do Texas Fossils Indicate Coexistence of Men and Dinosaurs? by Robert F. Helfinstine and Jerry D. Roth (1994 by Robert F. Helfinstine and Jerry D. Roth; Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 94-96128). This book traces the history up to 1994 of the investigation of alleged man-tracks found near dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas . Topics include the dinosaur and man-like tracks, a fossilized human finger, fossil teeth which appear to be human, a metal hammer found in Cretaceous rock, the Burdick Track (human in appearance), and a Lepidodenron root fossil. While absolute proof for the human origin of the mysterious tracks is still lacking, the weight of the evidence clearly favors the human interpretation. The book is fully documented and contains dozens of photographs and illustrations. Call (817)897-3200 to order the book or write to the Creation Evidences Museum .
Darwin on Trial by Phillip E Johnson (Intervarsity Press,1993; ISBN 0-8308-1324-1). Mr. Johnson, a law professor at the University of California at Berkley, approaches evolution from a philosophical perspective. He persuasively shows that the idea of the "fact of evolution" stems from metaphysical presuppositions which favor materialism and not from scientific evidence. He systematically considers the fossil record, molecular biology, abiogenesis, and natural selection. A free unabridged audio version is now available online.
The Revised Quote Book edited by Andrew Snelling (Creation Science Foundation, Ltd., Australia, 1990; ISBN 0-949906-10-7) Dr Snelling has compiled this collection of quotations from leading evolutionists caught in moments of candor about evolutionary theory. The quotes reveal just how little there is in the way of hard data to support the specifics of evolutionary scenarios.

Geology

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it (EXODUS 20:11).

Proceedings from the Fifth International Conference on Creationism (August 2003): Many of the papers presented at ICC5 are available for free download at http://www.icr.org/research/. Most of the papers deal with geochronology and the latest research of the RATE effort. Amung the results are radiocarbon evidence that the sedimentary layers of the earth were deposited recently and simultaneously, He retention in zircons indicating accelerated nuclear decay in the past, and more data which indicate isochrons can form from mjixing of melted rocks instead of nuclear decay. All of the results are summarized in one of the papers: Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth.
Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth (R.A.T.E.), edited by Larry Vardiman, Andrew A Snelling and Eugene F. Chaffin (ICR and CRS, 2000; ISBN: 0-932766-62-5) This book contains the best, most in-depth, and most recent thinking on this critical subject from some of the creation movement's foremost scientists. Written in a thorough and technical manner, the book discusses radiometric dating of all the major isotopes, isochrons, radiohalos, and accelerated nuclear decay. This material is the basis of several research proposals presented at the end of this book. The research is underway and has already made significant progress, especially with regards to the amount of He retained in minerals and present in the atmosphere; the RATE group has shown that He diffuses through biotite rapidly as predicted. The implication of this discovery is a young earth where rapid radioactive decay occurred sometime in the past, probably before day 3 of creation week and possibly during the Flood. Click here for a report from ICR on He diffusion in biotite.
The Mythology of Modern Dating Methods by John Woodmorappe (Institute of Creation Research, 1999; ISBN: 0-932766-57-9). Woodmorappe points out many of the flaws and assumptions built into radiometric dating of metamorphic and igneous rocks, especially as it is applied to sedimentary strata by dating intrusions. Some of the problems include isochrons resulting from the mixing of magmas (not radioisotope decay), selective reporting of older “dates”, the statistically likely agreement of various dating methods giving the same “age”, open system behavior, after-the-fact rejection of radiometric dates due to disagreement with biostratigraphy or other accepted criteria even though there was no evidence that the rock was ever perturbed in any way and good isochrons were obtained, and rocks of known age which gave anomalous results with radiometric methods. Many of the rationalizations used to explain "discordant" results are examined.
The Young Age of the Earth , a video by Robert V. Gentry ( Earth Science Associates , 1996; phone: (800)467-6380, 76 minutes). This excellent video features Robert and David Gentry, Walter Brown, and Andrew Snelling. The young age of the earth is demonstrated by parentless polonium radiohalos in granites and the amounts of helium in zircons found deep in the earth's crust. Radiohalo evidence for rapid coal deposit formation, giant coal beds, huge dinosaurs graveyards, polystrate trees, dinosaur tracks in coal seams, and other data are best explained by the Flood. Dr. Brown's hydroplate theory is used to explain how the Flood could have caused mountains, continental drift, the Grand Canyon, and the mid-Atlantic ridge.
The Young Earth by Dr. John D. Morris (Master Books, 1994; ISBN 0- 89051-174-8). This book contains the latest creationist geological thought. Dr. Morris discusses radioisotopic dating, the earth's magnetic field, the Grand Canyon, Mt. St. Helen, continental drift., the Petrified Forest, various geochemical processes, and more. There are transparency masters included.
Grand Canyon: Monument to Catastrophe edited by Dr. Steven A. Austin (Institute for Creation Research, 1994; ISBN 0-932766-33-1). This book explains the formation of the Grand Canyon - stratum by stratum - from a creationist/global flood perspective. Dr. Austin, who authors the majority of the chapters, has personally conducted much field research and led guided tours in the canyon. Contains an excellent discussion of radioisotopic dating methods. This book is packed with beautiful color photographs, 3-D maps, and is extensively documented.
Mount St. Helens: Explosive Evidence for Creation (Steve Austin, Institute for Creation Research, 58 min.) is a video documentary on the May 18, 1980 eruption and subsequent field research of the famous volcano. Narrated by geologist Dr. Steve Austin, this video presents first hand evidence that many geological phenomena can occur very rapidly (within days to weeks) including formation of a 100 ft.deep canyon in solid rock, formation of 600 ft.of finely layered strata and associated canyons (1/40 scale of the Grand Canyon), transportation and reburial of thousands of trees in an upright position as seen in the Petrified Forest, and formation of a 3 ft.deep peat bog-potentially the precursor to coal formation.
Creation's Tiny Mystery , Third Edition, by Dr. Robert V. Gentry (Earth Science Associates, 1992; ISBN 0-9616753-3-0) Based on years of laboratory research published in Science and Nature , Dr. Gentry explains how the plethora of radiohalos of short lived (3 minute half life) polonium in samples of mica and granites, taken near the bottom of the earth's crust, require that the earth's mantle must have formed almost instantaneously rather than over millions of years. The evidence presented rules out uranium and its daughter elements-including radon-as the source of the polonium suggesting that only a few minutes elapsed between nucleosynthesis and mantle formation, consistent with the Genesis account. Polonium radiohalos found in partially coalified wood samples in several Colorado sites tie three geological time periods allegedly spanning millions of years into one rapid event: the Genesis Flood. Evolutionary geologists have failed to offer superior alternative explanations. Hear radio interviews with Dr.Gentry online .
The Genesis Flood by Dr. John C. Whitcomb and Dr. Henry M. Morris [Baker Book House, 1988 (32nd printing) ; ISBN 0-8010-9501-8]. This book presents the Biblical and geological evidence for the global Genesis Flood. Originally published in 1961, this book has become a classic in the field.
Catastrophe Reference Database compiled by Steven A Austin is the largest database available on catastrophism in geology with 440 references. Copies may be obtained from the Institute for Creation Research
The Waters Above: Earth's Pre-Flood Vapor Canopy by Joseph C. Dillow, Th.D. [Moody Press, 1981; ISBN 0-8024-9198-7]. This book provides the scriptural support for and scientific implications of a pre-Flood vapor canopy. The vapor canopy theory may explain the origin of the Flood waters, pre- and post-Flood human longevity (it decreased dramatically after the Flood), the apparent once global tropical climate, the lack of rain and rainbows before the Flood, the timing and reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs, vast graveyards of mammoths and other animals found completely intact (as if frozen in their footsteps), and more.
