Dictionary of Science and Creationism

This user-friendly reference work was written to explain the creationism/evolution controversy in an easy-to-understand manner. Using a dictionary format, Ronald L. Ecker outlines both sides in concise, nontechnical language, presenting all major scientific concepts that relate to evolutionary theory and using that information to show the pseudoscientific nature of "scientific" creationism. Under each entry, the pertinent evidence for evolution is succinctly presented, as are the reasons creationist arguments in that area have no scientific validity. The articles are cross-referenced and indexed to improve accessibility. Intended for general readers as well as educators and professionals, this authoritative volume provides all the scientific facts needed to refute the claims of creationism.
