APE-MEN – Fact or Fallacy?
Written by: M Bowden
Published by Sovereign publications 1977
ISBN: 0950604208
Paperback

Ape-Men: Fact or Fallacy? is written to cast doubt on the evolutionary interpretation of the human fossil record. The author, M. Bowden, uses two approaches: 1) questioning the fossil evidence, and 2) questioning the honesty of human palaeontologists. A critical examination of the evidence highlights the very speculative theories based upon inadequate fossil evidence and reveals the very dubious circumstances surrounding their discovery.


THE RISE OF THE EVOLUTION FRAUD
Written by: M Bowden
Published by Sovereign publications 1982
ISBN:0950604224

Bowden brings before us a veritable rogues gallery of men who have shaped our modern world, social engineers every one of them who have pursued just one agenda, the building of a society without God. That such men have always desired a godless world is hardly a surprise. It is the natural bent of man. But what does surprise and unsettle us is to be told the lengths to which some of them have gone to bring about such a world.

CAN WE BE GOOD WITHOUT GOD?
Written by: John Blanchard
Published by Evangelical Press 2007
ISBN: 9780852346518
Booklet

One of the things that distinguishes humankind from every other species on earth is that we have a moral dimension.  A moral law seems to be programmed into our psychological ‘software’ and our awareness of it is triggered by the conscience, a mysterious monitor that pokes its nose into every nook and cranny of our lives.


HE ALSO MADE THE STARS – What the Bible Says About the Stars
Written by: Stuart Burgess
Published by Day One publications 2001
ISBN:9781846251207
Paperback

This book teaches clearly and biblically the purpose of the stars and the question of extra-terrestrial life. Dr Burgess explains how the earth has a unique purpose in supporting life and how the stars have a singular purpose in shining light on it. He explains why the universe contains such natural beauty and how the stars reveal God’s character. This book presents many fascinating facts about the universe. There are over 100 billion stars in our Milky Way Galaxy and there are billions of other galaxies in the Universe. The big Universe raises some equally big questions: What is the origin of the stars? Is there life on other planets? This book addresses these and other questions.

Written for the layman, but with a scientific slant, this compelling book devastates Darwinian arguments for the origin of our universe and planet.


STARS AND THEIR PURPOSE – Signposts in Space
Written by: Dr Werner Gitt
Published by Christliche Literatur-Verbreitung e V 2000
ISBN: 3893977872
Paperback

What expectations do you have when you start reading a book with the title “Signposts in Space”? perhaps you think of the “little green men” which Bell and Hewish discovered when they first received signals from pulsars? Or maybe you’re interested in reading something about intelligent life forms, whose existence in the distant galaxies provides the material for much speculation. Rather in this book, we’ll be looking at the effect which star systems have on us human beings. What are the origins of the universe? Is its existence a coincidence or does it have predestined design? Why are there stars in this enormous universe? Who is their creator? What is the star of Bethlehem?


TIME AND ETERNITY
Written by: Dr Werner Gitt
Published by CLV 2001
ISBN: 0872132285
Paperback

Throughout the centuries, people from diverse cultures, circumstances and points of view have wrestled with the concept of time. In the 5th Century St. Augustine said, “What is time? If no one asks me, I know; but if any person should require me to tell him, I cannot.” Time magazine said as the last century closed, “While scientists have harnessed the power of the atom, cracked the genetic code and probed the very edges of the universe, they still don’t understand time much better than St. Augustine did.” Here the author leads a though-provoking discussion that begins in time, ends in eternity, and focuses continually on the Eternal One who is the source of both.


THE ANSWERS BOOK – 12 most asked questions on Genesis and creation/evolution
Written by: Ken Ham; Andrew Snelling; Carl Wieland
Published by Master Books 1991
ISBN: 0949906158

Here are solid answers to those puzzling questions on creation/evolution and the Bible that are so often avoided or sidestepped — even though they come up all the time! The authors attempt to present detailed answers to what they describe as the twelve most-asked questions on Genesis, creation and evolution. Their answers are based upon a literal interpretation of the Bible and thus a creationist interpretation of Genesis.


DARWIN’S GOD – Evolution and the Problem of Evil
Written by: Cornelius G Hunter
Published by Brazos Press 2001
ISBN: 1587430118
Hardback

In Darwin’s God, biophysicist Cornelius Hunter argues that the theory of evolution, from its origins with Charles Darwin up to its present-day proponents, is motivated at bottom by theological concerns. Behind the scientific story is the story of Charles Darwin’s grappling with questions about God, reality, and the nature of the universe. Ultimately, Hunter shows how Darwin’s inability to reconcile his understanding of a benevolent God with the cruelty, waste, and quandaries of nature led him to develop the theodicy called evolution. Importantly, the tale Hunter has to tell is not merely historical. He demonstrates how today’s theory of evolution continues to rely on Darwin’s metaphysics.


COMPROMISE – Refuting non-biblical Interpretations of Genesis 1
Written by: Ken Ham, Terry Mortenson & Werner Gitt
Published by 1:1 Answers in Genesis
ISBN: 1600924220
Booklet

Is there a time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? Were the days of creation really long ages? Can’t we just add evolution to the Bible? What’s so bad about believing in millions of years? These and other questions are answered in this Pocket Guide to Compromise. Many Christians try to add millions of years to the Bible in order to make it fit with modern geological theories, or to try and look good in the eyes of the world. But Scripture is very clear that God’s Word is the authority, and we must not change it to fit our own ideas. This pocket guide will enable believers to defend biblical creation, and refute the errors being taught in many churches and Bible schools today. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:11) Learn more! Other pocket guides available covering a variety of subjects.


THE GREAT ARC – The Dramatic Tale of How India was Mapped and Everest was Named
Written by: John Kealy
Published by Harper Colllins Publishers 2001
ISBN: 0006531237
Paperback

A vivid description of one of the most ambitious scientific projects undertaken in the 19th century, and the men who undertook the measurement of the Himalayas and the mapping of the Indian subcontinent: William Lambton and George Everest. The graphic story of the measurement of a meridian, or longitudinal, arc extending from the tip of the Indian subcontinent to the mountains of the Himalayas. Much the longest such measurement hitherto made, it posed horrendous technical difficulties, made impossible physical demands on the survey parties (jungle, tigers, mountains etc.), and took over 50 years. But the scientific results were commensurate, including the discovery of the world’s highest peaks and a new calculation of the curvature of the earth’s surface. The Indian Mutiny of 1857 triggered a massive construction of roads, railways, telegraph lines and canals throughout India: all depended heavily on the accuracy of the maps which the Great Arc had made possible.


THE DAWKINS LETTERS – Challenging Atheist Myths
Written by: David Robertson
Published by Christian Focus Publications Ltd. 2007
ISBN: 9781845502614
Paperback

When Richard Dawkins published ‘The God Delusion’, David Robertson wanted there to be an intelligent Christian response. After some ill thought through interventions in the media it was obvious that no one was really going to answer the real issues, so David Robertson wrote an open letter to Richard Dawkins on his church website. This has found its way into Richard Dawkins website, where it generated the largest response of any posting up to that time. Since then it has been the source of continued discussion – being a critical part of the largest discussion since that time as his book was officially reviewed on the website. This ferocity of the responses and the shallowness of the thinking that it exhibited, spurred David to write this book. Christians need to know where Dawkins is weak, and we need to explain things better! It draws upon David’s experience as a debater, letter writer, pastor and author. This is a very honest book. It agrees with Dawkins where appropriate but also does not hesitate to point out where some of his thinking does not hold together – It is written in a gentle spirit of enquiry. If you want ideas and answers to the challenges of ‘The God Delusion’ then Dawkins Letters is the place to find your answers!

HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?
Written by: Dr A J Monty White
Published by Evangelical Press 1991
ISBN: 0852341989
Paperback

There are two irreconcilable views regarding the age of the earth. The evolutionist requires the earth to be around 4,600 million years old, whilst the creationist argues for a young earth of just a few thousand years. What does the Bible say on this fundamental issue and how do we relate this to the scientific evidence? Dr. Monty White, a popular creationist writer and speaker, shows there is no contradiction between the Bible and science, and clearly explains the Biblical arguments and scientific evidence for a young earth.


WHAT ABOUT ORIGINS?
Written by: Dr A J Monty White
Published by Dunestone Printers Ltd 1978
ISBN: 0906511003
Paperback

“Dr White’s analysis of the scientific evidence from the fields of cosmology, biochemistry, geochronology, biology, and palaeontology exposes fallacies and weaknesses in evolution theory and demonstrates the superiority of direct special creation as an explanation for the origin of the universe and of the living things it contains.”
