Considered a classic in Christian apologetics, this scholarly analysis of the Biblical phrase "without form and void," from the opening chapter of Genesis, observes the rules of linguistics, of grammar and syntax, and also examines how words are used in the rest of Scripture. This book has been described as the best argument that has ever been written for the Gap Theory. A well respected Canadian scientist himself, and listed in the 1971 American Men in Science, Dr. Custance contends that we should not allow science to determine what Scripture says. Neither should we allow Scripture to determine what the scientist observes in the laboratory. Yet observed fact in the one cannot, ultimately, conflict with revealed fact in the other. Any conflict, then, is in the interpretation of the facts - not in the facts themselves.

Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel. "My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says. During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant--or so Strobel thought. But today science points in a different direction. A diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost, as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present compelling evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available: The Case for a Creator small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, kids' edition, student edition, and more.

The Sun-God is on her way. My name isn't important, petal. You'll either listen or you won't. Half the world is ashes, the other half couldn't even piss in the right direction if their feet were on fire. I've had foreign dirt under my fingernails so long now it's impossible to tell myself that this future is anything less than what we deserve. Funny what a girl will fall in line behind for the security of a full belly and a high wall, don't you think? Still there? Lend me your ear then while I sow a vulgar parable of meat, money and make-believe. Better pour yourself a drink first though - top mine up too while you're at it. Chin up, petal. The Sun-God won't be long.

How do you understand the first three verses of the Bible? Be careful- your answer may tell more than you realize! In this in-depth study, Russ Bixler critiques the popular theory that these verses describe a creation out of nothing- as well as the theory of evolution! Instead he shows, from the original Hebrew, how the Creation week is a recent event (6,000-10,000 years ago) and how the primeval universe and earth can still be billions of years old. This book will change forever your thinking about Creation!
