1 Review
Prometheus Books, Publishers, 1996 - Science - 406 pages
Is "creation science" really scientific? What criteria, if any, exist for identifying a discipline as a science? This collection of essays answers these questions and many more about the creation/evolution controversy and the very nature of science itself.

"... an interesting analysis of a controversy that just won't go away". -- Science Books & Films

Review: But is It Science?: The Philosophical Question in the Creation/Evolution Controversy

User Review  - Barbara - Goodreads

This book presents a nicely edited group of scientific writings, including the opening words of the book of Genesis. I did find Michael Ruse's writings on evolution to be a bit simplistic compared to Richard Dawkins, but the book stands as a good primer on the evolution versus creationism debates. Read full review
