Abstract
Individuals who wish to understand the full range of viewpoints in the resurgence of interest in creationism may expect to find this book worth careful study. The author begins by pointing out man's deep-rooted need for an explanation of origins and the evidence that many people are time-haunted. He makes a significant observation that "Man's remarkable talent for inventing myths is surpassed only by his ability to believe in them" (p. 8). This is an observation which the reader will do well to keep in mind throughout his study of the book.
