Review # 1 was written on 2009-12-19 00:00:00 Hal Hall Since I read a fair amount of science, I didn't learn a whole lot of new science in this. But I thought it was quite well done and laid out a clear and easily accessible path into science -- both its methods and its content. It explained various versions of creationism (I didn't know so many existed!) and nicely, politely and 99.8% patiently explained why they couldn't coexist with science. But the author wasn't out to trash religion as a whole; The book also dealt with why other aspects of religion are *not* at odds with science. A useful book, I think, if you either believe in creationism (a little or a lot) or want to have meaningful conversations with others who do.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-03 00:00:00 Scott Jaffe As an evolutionary biologist, I often come into contact with creationists. They keep repeating the same old - already debunked - arguments. This book gives an excellent and concise overview of creationist arguments and their refutation. Clearly, creationisme (in whatever form) is pseudoscience and should not be taken seriously.
