Written by a prize–winning professor of mechanical engineering and with a foreword by a past President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, this book has a prestigious pedigree.
It sets out to show that creation is a more reasonable explanation of man’s origin than evolution, and presents some very good arguments, especially when quoting evolutionists who are aware of the weak spots in their own position such as George Wald: ‘…One only has to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of life is impossible. Yet here we are as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.’ Burgess clearly shows that the ‘evolution vs. creation’ debate is not one between science and faith but between two belief systems!
