Negative Positive
Title: Some good things, mostly bad
Review: This book was used in my daughter's 7th graded science class, along with a secular text book. I was impressed at how well the authors were able to show that the glory of God can be seen throughout creation. They present this message in a way that can be understood by 7th graders, and capture their interest. But be warned: this is a "Young Earth Creationist" textbook. In a single read through the book, I found about 20 instances where the authors blatantly distorted or misrepresented scientific information in order to make it fit their young-earth agenda. But most of the book's problems are errors of omission, rather than commission. (For example, the book totally overlooks the evidence for an expanding universe--possibly the greatest scientific discovery of all time!) Consequently, balancing this book with a more secular book makes a reasonable combination.
Is the review positive or negative?
