Almost eighty years after the Scopes trial, the debate over the teaching of evolution continues to rage. There is no easy resolution--it is a complex topic with profound scientific, religious, educational, and legal implications. How can a student or parent understand this issue, which is such a vital part of education? Evolution vs. Creationism provides a badly needed, comprehensive, and balanced survey. Written by one of the leading advocates for the teaching of evolution in the United states, this accessible resource provides an introduction to the many facets of the current debate--the scientific evidence for evolution, the legal and educational basis for its teaching, and the various religious points of view--as well as a concise history of the evolution-creationism controversy. Each of the four sections of Evolution vs. Creationism provides a resource that will assist the reader in better understanding these issues. The first section addresses the nature of how evolution works as part of the scientific enterprise, as well as a summary of the relationship between religious beliefs and science. A section on the history of the controversy provides a handy synopsis of the lengthy struggles, from before Darwin to the present day, between advocates of creationism and the proponents of evolution. A collection of primary source documents addressing cosmology, law, education, and religious issues from all sides of the debate constitute the third section. The book concludes with a selection of resources for further information for those who wish to study the topic in more depth.

A Walk through Eternity was created to lead you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for the salvation of your soul. This book will help you understand what Gods purposes are for mankind. It presents a case for Creationism, gives an overview of the Old and New Testaments, and explains the signs of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Wouldnt you just love to truly understand the purpose of your life, along with that of everyone and everything else in existence? This is not as difficult to realize as some believe. We only need to openly resolve a few fundamental questions from a big-picture perspective. Then understanding the purpose of everything will become more a matter of common sense than such a great mystery. These are the basic questions: Did we merely evolve, or were we created? If we were created, why were we created? If we were created by God, whose god, from which religion, is the genuine God? Can we know with absolute certainty that particular God is real? Why would any factual God allow bad things to happen to so many good people? And, can we know with certainty whether theres an afterlife? We all instinctively contemplate these questions, either consciously or subconsciously, so we must resolve them to understand who we are and our place in the grand scheme of things. Lets settle these issues once and for all.
