The Biblical Basis for Modern Science

I read this book from Dr. Morris YEARS ago but lost my copy in a flood. I found it again finally and am once again able to brush up my knowledge periodically so I can give a more educated response to those who would tear down my faith. God does not tell us to take a blind leap. We need only a mustard-seed of faith and the good sense to understand the Bible when we read it. This book takes that good sense and puts it in overdrive. If you are on the fence about Christianity, this is the book for you. If you are a Christian but you've come across the passage urging you to not be without excuse when asked why you believe what you believe, you're in the boat I was in and this is the plug for all the leaks in that boat. If you're a Christian who evangelizes and spreads the gospel of the Christ Who saved you but you want to be secure in giving knowledgeable, honest answers for all the questions that interested non-beleivers can come up with... THIS is the book for you. If you're in that second boat, I'd also recommend The Genesis Record and The Revelation Record (also by Dr. Morris). They are both faith builders and knowledge wells - HUGE assets for your spirit. Dr. Morris was an geologist/evolutionist when he realized that his science training had taught him to make some assumptions. He found that science was not altogether even-handed as we would like to think it is. That led him to investigate and find that the Bible, when not approached with hostility, and science when not leaning toward or away from the Bible, both work hand in hand. Dr. Morris went on to become the President for the Institution for Creation Research. I HIGHLY recommend his books as his hypotheses and explanations of scripture in context served to bolster my faith. I now CAN explain why I believe what I believe and I now truly have a Love for God that I did not know in the past. This book will give a Christian every reason to prostrate themselves before God in thanksgiving and awe. It can be a dry read for those who are accustomed to faith books talking all about love, peace and harmony. This is NOT a Joel Olstein read. Get ready for meat and potatoes when you sit down to read this book.

Provides some clarity as to the difference in perspectives as well as interpretations of observations by both naturalist and theist. At its base both are religious. There were a few assertions that I found presumptuous but given the time in which it was wrote they were very understandable. It is important for bible believing Christians to realize when they are told that science and reason now refute god that the statement is absolutely false its only a secular interpretation of science and faithless reasoning that refute the biblical basis of origins as those perspectives do will all other facets of our existence. Don't be discouraged, while belief in and a relationship with god takes faith (as it always has) god himself and the account of his creation is well evidenced (just don't rely on an atheist to inform you of that evidence). Other good reads are books by Kurt Wise (more explanatory in terms of interpretation) and Stephen Austin (provides more details regarding applied sciences) .

This is an excellent book written by one of the foremost experts on Biblical Science. Essentially Morris argues from the Bible to explain all the evidence of Science. There are times when he holds almost too dogmatically to a certain understanding of Scripture ignoring science when there are viable options out there that hold to both the evidence and the Scripture. For the most part though, he demonstrates superbly why we can be confident in the Creation viewpoint without needing to bend on our science or our faith.

With more and more scientific discoveries calling the whole theory of evolution into question, many people are wondering what the real truth is. This book helps to answer many questions that people have, such as, "Is the earth really millions of years old?", "Why are there so many different races in the world?", "How did language develop?" and most importantly, "Can the Bible be trusted when it speaks about scientific matters?" Henry Morris supports his thesis with clearly-explained references to scientific discoveries. This book covers many different fields of scientific research, and shows clearly that the Bible is at the basis of every one of them. I highly recommend this book to the thoughtful reader.

This is an outstanding book. I highly recommend it for everybody interested it what the evidence of observational science really is in regards to the origin of life and the universe. Evolution is a philosophy that does not withstand the scrutiny of the scientific method that is the backbone of observational science, and Henry M. Morris reveals it for the falsehood it really is. As he does that he demonstrates how the empirical evidence of observational science does not contradict the Bible but actually confirms its validity.

I have appreciated Dr. Morris for 60 years (since Va. Tech), and have many of his writings. I suppose the only reason I was slightly disappointed, was that I was already familiar with much of this content. However, there was quite a bit of new things, new insights, new approaches.The new (to me) content was easily worth the price.

Author Henry Morris has been recognized as the father of the exploding resurgence of the modern creationist movement. While once the head of the geology department of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, author of a textbook on Hydrology, in this book, Dr. Morris displays a remarkable knowledge of many other physical sciences, and prides readers with an unanswerable critique of the evolutionary worldview and irrefutable evidences for the divine creation of the universe. Very readable. Very convincing.

This is an updated version and I am so glad I could obtain a copy. This book describes each scientific field and how all of the sciences can be so much better explained when you start with God's Word and view the facts through the eyes of the One Who was there when He created the rules of science!
