Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood
HERE'S WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THIS EXCITING BOOK
Walt Brown's book is the rarest of species: It is the most complete reference work I have encountered on the scientific aspects of the multifaceted subject of origins. At the same time it presents a comprehensive theoretical framework (his hydroplate theory) for reconciling the many seemingly unrelated, and sometimes apparently contradictory, facts that bear on these questions. This book is essential for any teacher or student who is serious about resolving these issues on the basis of the evidences rather than on opinions or unsubstantiated or unverifiable hypotheses.

In the Beginning is a great creation science book for teens and adults. It's easy to read, carefully researched, meticulously documented, and offers answers to the most important questions of the origins controversy. Besides the usual creation-science approach to questions about the historicity of Genesis and what happened to make the dinosaurs extinct, the book is unique in explaining for the first time how twenty-five major earth features: including mountains, volcanoes, the Grand Canyon, and ice ages - resulted from a worldwide flood. At the same time, it reveals serious yet little-known problems with many evolutionist ideas about earth history and the origin of life - including many ideas that evolutionists themselves have discarded, but are still taught as fact in children's textbooks. You owe it to yourself to get this book.

Of the many sources that exist to strengthen the Christian's position for creation, I believe that Walt Brown's is one of the clearest presentations available. The material in this book is not nebulous. On the contrary, it is precise. Walt has a knack for making what would, otherwise, be a complex subject into one easy to grasp. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

The subject of origins is inherently interesting to all of us, yet this topic is so broad that one can get lost in the sheer volume of information. As a biologist and a Christian, I find In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood to be the most concise, scholarly treatment of the scientific evidence supporting creation that I have ever read. This book is a must for anyone who is serious about understanding the creation-evolution debate. Science teachers, regardless of religious affinities, should also find this excellent resource a valuable addition to their reference libraries.

Any book that reaches a Seventh Edition has proved its lasting value. The CSC classic, In the Beginning, is as stimulating as ever and provides perhaps the most useful analysis ever written on the subject of theistic evolution.

Books uncovering the false claims of evolutionists have become so numerous that well-prepared summaries are greatly needed, especially for introductory and classroom purposes. Admirably designed to meet this need is Walt Brown's In the Beginning. For me, the most spectacular section is its unfolding of the hydroplate theory in connection with the great universal flood. Brown's presentation is an astonishing explanation of where the water may have come from and where it went. It does forcefully replace the water-canopy theory, which has obvious problems connected with it.

Having given the 4th, 5th, and 6th editions of this book to scores of people from every background, I cannot give too hearty an endorsement for this 7th edition. It has been my primary reference in lectures among students at Georgia Tech, debates with peers, and small courses for lay people within and outside of the church. The orientation of the material with supporting detailed reference annotations allows the reader to delve in at any depth, elegantly bridging the chasm between simplicity and scholarly research. It is impossible to have a grip on reality and ones destiny when one's understanding of origins is awry. In the Beginning is the tool for solidly forming a scientific grip of your origin. Would that every parent and teacher were aware of this material.

The way to refute evolution: Don't bother. Let Dr. Walt Brown do it. Actually, anyone can vaporize the lies of the evolutionists with this most impressive layman's guide to scientific creation. If you have ever wondered how to reconcile the truths of Genesis with the rigors of the scientific method, then stop scratching your post-Neanderthal skull and see it explained fully. You will find that Dr. Brown has rooted out perplexing mysteries that most knowledgeable scientists are afraid to address. His book is loaded with irrefutably logical arguments.
