This was written to refute the concept of creationism and does a great job in stating facts- not the religious babble and states how and why really is reality not 'mysticism' a well thought out organized and concise.

At the time this book was published in 1983, Laurie Godfrey taught anthropology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst; she is also the co-author of [[ASIN:0393330737 Scientists Confront Creationism: Intelligent Design and Beyond]]. Authors in this collection include Stephen Jay Gould, David Raup, Frederick Edwords, etc.

Scientists Confront Creationism (1983) is out-of-date. A better selection would be the following book (2008) by the same editor: [[ASIN:0393330737 Scientists Confront Creationism: Intelligent Design and Beyond]] Scientists Confront Creationism is out-of-date in three ways: first, the conventional science is out-of date; second, creation science is presumably more sophisticated now than 25 years ago; and third, the book relies too much on the reader being familiar with the complex scientific, philosophical and theological concepts presented.
