Creationism Revisited: 2020: A Defense of Recent Creation by an Agnostic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781625506061)

"Incredibly original book that is sure to upset both sides of the debate. Being a skeptic myself, I was not expecting such a strong case to be made in favor of Young Earth Creation. By taking an agnostic approach, Stroud is able to articulate the viability of 'Recent Creation' from both the natural and social sciences while at the same time distancing himself from the normal paradigm usually equivocated with YEC. A very well thought out work that is sure to force both Old and Young Earth creationists to re-think many of their old paradigms in 2020." -- Springfield Review ___________________________________________________________________________________________Christian apologist James Stroud makes a compelling case for the viability of Creationism (YEC) for a 21st century audience. Though Stroud takes the unique position of an agnostic on the exact dating of Creation, he convincingly shows how creationism has made great progress academically over the last 30 years and is just as intellectually viable today as progressive creation models (OEC). Arguing from theology and the social and natural sciences, Stroud presents a unique, three-pronged approach which forces the reader to look at Creationism afresh in 2020. Distancing himself from traditional YEC proponents while also dissecting his OEC colleagues, Stroud is sure to make enemies on both sides while at the same time forcing us all to rethink these issues anew. An easy read for the layman while also providing enough challenges to the academic to make this a conversation starter for years to come. _________________________________________________________________________________________James Stroud (BA in philosophy; MA in history) and of this writing is a candidate for an MS in Space Studies .
