I recieved this book for Christmas and have found it so very useful before haveing internalized even all the appendix material. I have always been partial to the King James Version since my days of trying to read the New Testament while living off Federal Hill in Providence and so for those who know the benefits of King James accents in today's society the text will not fail. I have found the verse comments extremely helpful in critically viewing another book's (Snake Charm) picture sequence ( which will not be reviewed here at this time) with verse citations so the orginality of this work is singularly impressive to the best of images.
Each book of the Bible recieves an Introduction which I have not even begun to tap but based on the past two comments I do not expect any less in the realm of theology. The evidence at the end of this book are quite material to the ongoing "debate" of Evolution versus Creation both here and aboard other boards being particularly instrutive to me concerning the lack of follow ups to the post below I made on a competitor site (for some reason the URL is not clear to any given server). I get there through Talk Origin's other web pages click to discussion to the last in the list (True Seekers...)

I need to know whether @debate@ on this board is above the belt
(p.248) "ATTITUDE OF UNCERTAINITY I think that when we know that we actually do live in uncertainity, then we ought to admit it; it is of great value to realize that we do not know the answers to different questions. This attitude of mind-this attitude of uncertainity- is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the sudent must first acquire. It becomes a habit of thought. Once acquired, one cannot retreat from it anymore."

or below:
"I listened to a coversation between two girls, and one was explaining that if you want to make a stright line, you see, you go over a certain number to the right for each row you go up, that is, if you go over each time the same amount when you go up a row, you make a straight line. A deep principle of analytic geometry! It went on. I was rather amazed. I didn't realize the female mind was capable of understanding analytical geometry."(p175)(p249)"What happens, then, is that the young man begins to doubt everthing because he cannot have absolute truth. So the question changes a little bit from "Is there a God?" to "How sure is it that there is a God?
Taken From The Pleasure of Finding Things Out by richard Feynamn@HelixBooks1999
If I do not get a significant response to this post Sumac can feel pleased to see me leave behind the question between the later that will for some time always be tough for the "How sure is it that there is a God?" populates this board a little too excessively but if Dembski is to be approached this question must be addressed not salad dressing to spurn someone rather to debate the qualitiatve nature of equations. So if these posting return without my inserts its status quo I will know that no really significant effort was extended beyond a few pen pals that though I appreciated correspondence with, will not be able collectively with (me!) to further the goal for my introduction herein that perhpas the younger generation will succeed where the older failed. If it is chat I want I would perfer to be drunk when I get it so that I can judge the more eternal nature of its action rather than the behavior that failed to sit in good. So for what appears as pre -judgement I apolgize in advance but these adults don't let up even in the face time of science so I must be "what did they call it" dilligent.
If we actually get this far then maybe in the current climate we will be able to discuss the more substantive issue Feynman raises on the evil since 9-11 we all experienced (p.246 "The first answer we might hear is very simple: you see, he is taught by scientists, and (as I have just pointed out) they are all atheists at heart, so the evil is spread from one to another. But if you can entertain this view, I think you know less of science than I know of religon." (ONLY DIFFERENCE WITH ME IS THAT THAT ON APPLICATION BEYOND SCHODINGER QUEATION TPUT TO RICHARD i THNK you KNOE lWSS OF RELAITON THAN i KNBOW OF SCIENECE.) of course I would prefer the converse but society does not support this as much as it does ask how sure sureity for the neighbotr is.
Ineed more than a secretary to justify this extra (Chomsky) expense.
The difference between Feynmann and myself is that while I try to stick to discussing his infinity (things inside other things ) the same I do know that relativistic homology is not appropriate for any Creation/evolution in solution or not all the way to the result for philosophy for point localities as if same as observeing (Copernicus vs Ptolemy) planents/wandering stars but some day beyond endemism the things inside of the null may be possible to like the black board between Feynamnn and Bethe (I have seen Feynman lecture , I was in Calif when he got a stomach problem and I have had less than a dozen words with Bethe)to go all the same chalk line way but the infinity is still actually the same no matter the different potentialites inside and out side church. Neither way the insult to believers remains but should not be the sureness between us two. Who stole Christmass?

As for the fancy covering both external and internal to the THE DEFENDER'S STUDY BIBLE KING JAMES VERSION DEFENDING THE FAITH FROM A LITIERAL CREATIONIST VIEWPOINT BY DR. HENRY M. MORRIS matches the colors here perfectly. I had coveted this color combination if I confess here that when I first saw the first ad for the piece which the last few pages of the appendix did not disappoint. I was quite exicted to begin reading the conclusion to the last Appendix on page 1595, "Many similar patterns are discernable as one studies the inspired Scriptures. Some of these are mentioned in the annotations associated with particular passages. Although one must be careful not to misuse this kind of data in deriving special doctrines or predictions from them, they do seem to provide for the believer a thirilling seal and confirmation, internally and subjectively, of the objective truth of plenary verbal inspiration."
I learned what the author means by completed supernaturals but a review of a book by Dr. Dobson must wait for me to read one and listen to more Turing Point radio broadcasts. A concordance and maps are included in this fine book published out of ICR that will prove to be helpful in moving the "inbreeding" of creationism to a number uncalculable by opponents a gain and two thumbs up fot the title of this book is The DEFENDER'S Study Bible by the One and Only Dr. Henry M. Morris. quid pro quo. Good works! I may have only wished to add a comma.
I hope to see this book's content becomes standard use on this web site if not substantially so already for my rather meger introduction.
