Creation and the Courts: Eighty Years of Conflict in the Classroom and the Courtroom (With Never Before Published Testimony from the "Scopes II" Trial) (eBook)

"Norman Geisler has always been a 'trail-blazer' for people who want to speak out about their faith, and Creation and the Courts blazes a trail into the truth of creation vs. evolution. Through his firsthand personal experience in the 'Scopes II' trial and his exhaustive research into other similar trials, Geisler will draw you into the world of our legal system, better preparing you to address issues of creation and evolution." Josh D. McDowell, author and speaker "As both an eyewitness in the courtroom and a highly respected scholar in the classroom, Norman Geisler provides a unique perspective to one of the most critical discussions of our time. From the Scopes trial to the recent Dover case, Geisler summarizes and counters the often unexamined assumptions left in their wake. This is an invaluable resource on the subject, and I enthusiastically recommend it." Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker "The concept of intelligent design is being debated by jurists and scientists as well as the media. Norman Geisler's Creation and the Courts adds to those discussions the important perspective of a philosopher, theologian, and biblical scholar. Of all the superb monographs written by Geisler, this one may be the most important. Every pastor and theologian should read this volume this year." Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary "Norman Geisler has provided a compilation and commentary on the issue of evolution, public education, and the courts that will serve as an important resource for decades to come. Dr. Geisler convincingly shows that much of the debate over this issue is a jurisprudential mess resulting from philosophically confused though well-meaning scientists and jurists. He offers just the sort of clarity this debate requires." Francis J. Beckwith, Associate Professor of Church-State Studies, Baylor University, and author of Law, Darwinism, and Public Education.
