No Bones about It


Book Description

I had never given a thought to the fact that Ava's interest in dinosaurs would eventually lead to a myriad of questions that I was unable to answer due to my complete ignorance on the subject. In today's world, our children are exposed on a daily basis to information that is contradictory to God's word. We need to be constantly, diligently teaching them, instructing them. If we don't, they will access information somewhere else. When Kelly Landgraf's trip to the museum with her young daughter opened her eyes to the evolutionary myths that inundate children at every turn, she became passionate about equipping parents to raise their children in the knowledge of God by filtering evolutionary teachings through the truth of Scripture and creation. As a teacher and a parent who has done extensive research on the evolution v. creationism debate, Kelly is uniquely qualified to speak to parents and children on this subject. While teaching seventh grade in the public school system and studying for her master's of education, Landgraf realized that most American elementary students will never have access to truth about human origins and science unless their parents and churches teach them. In No Bones About It, Kelly makes an informed and effective argument for creation that will help children and parents take a stand for truth.

Unraveling the Origins Controversy


Book Description

Unraveling the Origins Controversy: Science & the Bible Confirm Creation answers many of the most challenging questions in the origins debate. Dr. David A. DeWitt clears up the confusion about creation and evolution by distinguishing fact from interpretation. He exposes underlying assumptions and evidence on both sides of this contentious debate from a consistent Biblical worldview. Using scientific evidence and Scripture, he presents a positive, compelling case for a creation perspective. This second edition is revised and expanded covering a broad range of subjects from the big bang theory to the origin of life to the alleged 98% DNA similarity between humans and chimpanzees. While understandable to the non-scientist, the book is well documented for those who desire more details.




Glass House


Book Description

Evolution as an idea is considered a rock-solid truth among secular scientists, but when you begin looking at the evidence and asking simple questions, you find their conclusions to be just fragile assumptions, unproven myth, and outright misconceptions – like a glass house built on shifting sands. Discover the pervasive influences of the atheistic religion of Darwinian evolution Learn what science is and how science is actually devastating to evolution Explore how evolution developed from unproven science to a popular and cultural worldview Now a powerful team of credentialed scientists, researchers, and Biblical apologists take on the pillars of evolution, and the truths they reveal decimate Darwin’s beliefs using a Biblical and logical approach to evidence.




Unraveling the Gray Area Problem


Book Description

In Unraveling the Gray Area Problem, Luke Griffith examines the US role in why the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty took almost a decade to negotiate and then failed in just thirty years. The INF Treaty enhanced Western security by prohibiting US and Russian ground-based missiles with maximum ranges of 500 to 5,500 kilometers. Significantly, it eliminated hundreds of Soviet SS-20 missiles, which could annihilate targets throughout Eurasia in minutes. Through close scrutiny of US theater nuclear policy from 1977 to 1987, Griffith describes the Carter administration's masterminding of the dual-track decision of December 1979, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) initiative that led to the INF Treaty. The Reagan administration, in turn, overcame bureaucratic infighting, Soviet intransigence, and political obstacles at home and abroad to achieve a satisfactory outcome in the INF negotiations. Disagreements between the US and Russia undermined the INF Treaty and led to its dissolution in 2019. Meanwhile, the US is developing a new generation of ground-based, INF-type missiles that will have an operational value on the battlefield. Griffith urges policymakers to consider the utility of INF-type missiles in new arms control negotiations. Understanding the scope and consistency of US arms control policy across the Carter and Reagan administrations offers important lessons for policymakers in the twenty-first century.

Who We Are and How We Got Here


Book Description

The past few years have seen a revolution in our ability to map whole genome DNA from ancient humans. With the ancient DNA revolution, combined with rapid genome mapping of present human populations, has come remarkable insights into our past. This important new data has clarified and added to our knowledge from archaeology and anthropology, helped resolve long-existing controversies, challenged long-held views, and thrown up some remarkable surprises. The emerging picture is one of many waves of ancient human migrations, so that all populations existing today are mixes of ancient ones, as well as in many cases carrying a genetic component from Neanderthals, and, in some populations, Denisovans. David Reich, whose team has been at the forefront of these discoveries, explains what the genetics is telling us about ourselves and our complex and often surprising ancestry. Gone are old ideas of any kind of racial 'purity', or even deep and ancient divides between peoples. Instead, we are finding a rich variety of mixtures. Reich describes the cutting-edge findings from the past few years, and also considers the sensitivities involved in tracing ancestry, with science sometimes jostling with politics and tradition. He brings an important wider message: that we should celebrate our rich diversity, and recognize that every one of us is the result of a long history of migration and intermixing of ancient peoples, which we carry as ghosts in our DNA. What will we discover next?
