Book(s) with powerful argument for creationism?

[Lingonsylt]

Hi,

I'm an atheist and I believe strongly in evolution. However, I also believe in trying to understand people with a different opinion, and to seriously consider their message. To that end, I will read one or more books that makes the case for creationism.

If you believe in creationism, and could have every evolutionist read one book on the subject, one that you think would make the strongest case and be most likely to "convert" them, which one would you have us read? I will pick up one of the books that you recommend and read it.

Thanks in advance!

Well, there aren't any good books the show evidence FOR creationism but there are plenty of creationist books that could cause you to question evolution and therefore cause you to convert to the judeo/christian belief in yahweh... Somehow... I guess.

Michael Behe has a good book that promotes irreducible complexity which is the best argument that creationism has.

The book has been proven wrong in a court of law, but if you can look past that, you might enjoy it.

I won't be converted by anything, but I thought it might be interesting to read one of the books that are considered good by the "other side". If nothing else, it helps if you know your enemy. However, sinceI've read my Dawkins and I'm familiar with the irreducible complexity "argument", it seems it would be wasted time to read about it again.

Since noone else has replied with suggestions in more than a week, I can only conclude that there is no interesting book from the creationists. Good, frees up time to read Hitchens instead.

ご返事ありがとうございます。

I think you might have tried in the wrong forum. The formal debates section is pretty dead most of the time. Go one level up in C&E and you might have more luck.

Thank you! I will repost my question one level up.

Have you heard of The Magic Man In The Sky by Carl Gallups? Its recently come out and Carl has been promoting it on the PPSimmons YouTube channel. I recommend you try that one.

Hi,

I'm curious why you have a Christian icon for your religion if you're not a Christian? Or do you see being a Christian and an atheist as being compatible?

I'm curious why you resurrected a thread to ask that of somebody who has no activity since his last post in this thread.
