UnrepentantSinner
A post by Alan Smithee
I'm starting this thread about the most excellent book I've read about Creationism here rather than in the literature forum because the analysis of the Creationist movement belongs more in Religion than literature or politics.
For those of you who won't purchase or check it out of the library, the most interesting fact evidenced in the book is that modern YECism, while connected with Fundamentalists and Evangelicals, actually has it's direct roots in Seventh Day Adventism. I wonder how many contemporary YECs would embrace it if they know it's directly derived from the writings of George McCready Price in the early 20th Century?
If you really want to read the seminal book covering the Creation v. Evolution debate in America, you must pick up a copy of this one.
