Straight Answers
This book has been prepared for people who may not
have the time or background to wade through the
mountain of evidence or evaluate the numerous debates
concerning origins. For this reason, it was not the
author’s intent to provide an exhaustive scientific treatise
on the subject. The information is even sometimes
condensed to brief thought provoking statements in order
to get right to the focal point of an issue. However, ample
references are cited for those who desire to verify the
factual content.
No doubt, you will enjoy learning why the most
fundamental scientific principles have direct application to
the understanding of the origins of life. The information
presented should provide logical answers for any open
minded person who desires to settle this intriguing
question:
Was life started by God through creation
or
from Dirt through evolution ??
If for whatever reason you may have believed the
latter, be prepared for the necessity of some mental
readjustments long before the last page of this book is
read.

If you are not inclined to believe me, here is just a
very small sample of what evolutionary scientists
themselves have to say concerning the lack of con-
firmed transitions in the fossil record:
EVOLUTION OF PLANTS
“I still think that, to the unprejudiced, the fossil record of
plants is in favor of special creation.” Prof. E.J.H.

The Creation Account
Note that it is not a coincidence that the inspired Word
STARTS with the revelation of creation. As pointed out
previously, the prime importance of understanding the
truth of creation is certainly emphasized by its significant
first place in the Bible. Thereafter, the Word of God
repeatedly pronounces God as Creator of the heavens
and earth.
Now, check this out! Right from the opening of
scripture, God makes no attempt to prove that He
exists. Genesis opens by taking this fact for granted!
