What is your level of knowledge on the subject ? What is your field of interest ? (genetics, geology, cosmology, etc. ?)
How about "fiat creation of species"? Isn't that what we're arguing about?
I'm really disappointed. When I saw that you'd posted on this thread, I resolved that whatever book you recommended, I'd order it from my local library and read it, and urge "nessie235" to do the same.
What is the best book? The first book I read about creationism was by one Dr Jolly F. Griggs, and it was hilarious. But I am willing to believe that you guys have something better up your sleeve. Please produce it.

That's all I got right now. Satisfied now ?
Much happier, yes. Thank you.
Would you be so kind as to recommend one of them to begin with?
There is one problem I should bring up. You mention a book called "Bones Of Contention". Now the thing is that everyone who has ever written a book about any controversy in the fossil record thought that it would be ever so clever to call it "Bones Of Contention". There must be about a hundred books called that. I myself have read a book called "Bones Of Contention", but I bet it's not the one you mean to recommend. You're going to have to name the author.

A great lawyer ...
I've never heard anyone claim that of him before. Perhaps you could tell me something about his cases?
... and an expert at logic.
Which you discovered how?
I have studied logic and taught it. He is a lawyer.
Johnson asks the question, what is actually known from the scientific evidence as opposed to materialist philosophy.
I'm familiar with the tendency of his lies and innuendo. His blather about "materialism" is a blatant lawyer tactic --- when all the expert witnesses are against you, allege bias. But the fact is that he is opposed by 99% of the scientists who do not adhere to a "materialist philosophy". As for the scientific evidence, he obviously does not know as much about it as all the theist biologists who think that he's wrong, what with him being ... a lawyer.
Don't get me wrong, he's entitled to his opinions, but why aren't you recommending me books written by a biologist?
Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.
