Comments: It is written as a response book to some of the criticism the creationism position has taken recently. He covers the fossil record, the 2nd law of thermodynamics, and touches on some topics like vestigial organs. This book has some good information but it'll take some work to get at it. This is definitely not a book for the origins neophyte.
Sample Quote: The bombardier beetle has a remarkable defense mechanism and, after describing this incredible mechanism, I challenged Awbrey and Thwaites to explain how an ordinary beetle, through a series of random, accidental mutations, acted upon by natural selection, could gradually change into a bombardier beetle. Neither at that time nor since have Awbrey and Thwaites been able to explain how this could have taken place. Awbrey and Thwaites subsequently, however, did utilize the common evolutionist ploy of ignoring the challenge and grasping for a flaw, even minor, in the creationist's argument."
