Above we see the front and back covers of Ken Ham's book, The Lie of Evolution. We notice Ken doesn't mince words. He is the Australian import who heads up the Answers in Genesis ministry (AIG). At this site, you will also find many other books, The Creation Ex-Nihilo magazine, and a wealth of information on creationism.

The Lie of Evolution argues against Christians' surrender to evolution. He explains why theistic evolution is merely unbelief with evolution added. He insists that evolution is not at all an area of science, not even poor science. Instead, he insists evolution is a religion. If we take a strict definition of science, he has to be correct.

The author also dwells on the six literal days of creation. He removes any keyway into the millions and billions of years dogma evolution must have to survive. Ken nails the absurdity of trying to hold on to both the Christian faith and evolution at the same time, and does it with very straightforward logic in his exegesis of Genesis 1-11 and supporting scriptures.

Another powerful feature of this book is the explanation of doctrines that originate in Genesis 1-11.

Sadly, I have noticed in the footnotes of my New Living Translation Bible just the sort of compromise Mr. Ham describes. Even some of our reknowned theologians and their Christian universities and seminaries either insist on ignoring elements of Genesis because it can't be reconciled with the so-called "science" of evolution, or they add evolution to God's Word. Ken Ham says these people do more harm to the Christian program than the pagans.

The Lie of Evolution is quite readable. The second time through, it still revealed to me insights missed on a first reading. The pictures helped,too.
