The Creation/Evolution debate has become one of the great philosophical arguments of the modern era. Many people have sided with Creationism because evolution doesn't add up for them. Many side with evolution because Creationism leaves many questions unanswered. In this handy book, Apologist Daniel Copeland seeks to address the questions that many Christians have shied away from. With clear information, thoughtful insight and a little humor, Copeland tries to bridge the gap of hostility and provide frank answers for the most popular evolutionary objections to Biblical Creationism. Challenging Creation begins at the very beginning, answering the questions, "What is Biblical Creationism?" and "What is Darwinism?" before addressing the broader issues. From that foundation of understanding, it goes on to look at things like homologous anatomy, genetic similarity, geological records, erosion rates, and even distant star-light to give a thorough explanation of the Creationist understanding of these phenomenon. The thorough but light-hearted approach makes this book accessible to the most basic believer or non-believer, and the questions and answers are helpful to people on both sides of the aisle. Christians young and old will appreciate the rational explanations of how science and scripture exist in harmony, and evolutionists will be better equipped to defend their position by understanding their opponents'.

"I believe that the creation/evolution debate may be one of the most important issues in modern times. Today's children are indoctrinated from a very young age through television and pop culture to believe in evolution and thus to doubt the beginning of the Bible. If the very first chapters of the Bible can't be trusted, how can any of it be trusted? If the foundation is corrupt, the house cannot stand. We must reclaim the foundation by educating our children about the truth and importance of God's special work of creation." - Daniel Copeland keywords: Creationism, Creation, Bible, Christian, Atheist, Apologetics, Evolution, Darwin, Questions, Genetics
