Synopsis:
Evolution is a model, hypothesis, idea, belief, or a worldview – it is not a theory, a law, a fact, or the truth.
God’s Word is the truth. Darwinian evolution as an explanation for human origins is a philosophy that raises its fist at God, but ultimately fails scientifically.
A powerful team of credentialed scientists, researchers, and Biblical apologists take on the pillars of evolution in Glass House: Shattering the Myth of Evolution. The truths they reveal decimate Darwin’s beliefs using a Biblical and logical approach to evidence.
In our culture, atheists and many Christians have been deceived into believing evolution is a solid foundation. Glass House answers evolutionary claims, puts them to the test and demonstrates how they shatter. Written for laymen, Glass House addresses the origin of life, natural selection, mutations, missing links, the religious nature of evolution, and many more evolutionary myths.
Ken Ham (CEO and founder), Bodie Hodge (author and researcher) and the team of scientists at Answers in Genesis offer you a fresh look at the major arguments currently put forward to support molecules-to-man evolution. This cutting-edge book dismantles evolution argument by argument and is written at a level even a teen can understand.
Review:
Obviously this can be a controversial book. I totally get it- for multiple generations, we've been taught Darwinism by our school systems and textbooks, and few challenged it, just said " oh it's contrary to the bible", but it's science, and left it unlevelled. Ken Ham has been one of the brave, going boldly into that void and saying "wait a minute, where is the EVIDENCE for what you are teaching everyone?". And suddenly the holes are exposed and now we are left to wonder, and stammer in our arguments. And that is what this book is for!
This book is perfect for high school students, who have been exposed to the evolution theory already in schools, as it gives them the evidence they need to make a educated decision on the idea of evolution, while bringing in bible study as well. So it can be a valuable homeschool resource for high schoolers, and a resource for parents, who are teaching elementary level, to see how to handle the evolution theory in science class!
The book is actually a compilation of different essays pertaining to the topic at hand. I actually prefer this, as it allows the reader/student to understand it is not just Ken Ham or Brodie Hodge saying things about evolution- it is other educated people, Doctors and lay people alike. It starts off with a look at how the evolution theory is accepted at modern churches, and then takes the reader through the theory itself,and exposes the holes, and more importantly offers the reasons WHY the theory has just been accepted, even though if it were any other scientific theory, it would have been debunked because of the issues it has. And that is the core issue-why if there is no solid evidence to support them, why are the evolution theories taken as fact? Science is supposed to be about fact, so why do natural evolutionists base their theories on blind faith, while telling Christians that their faith in the bible is wrong. It's the same. BUT as we learn (it seems literally every week anymore), more and more evidence keeps coming out to support biblical events, so why isn't the biblical view taught alongside evolution, at least? Once you start reading this book, you might not be able to put it down. There may be quite a few surprises inside! But I can guarantee that when finished you will have a sound education on evolution versus worldview, and be able to debunk any argument thrown at you!
If you're Christian, you MUST read this book! If you homeschool, it should be required reading for teaching science! We highly recommend it!
