It describes some of the positions taken by advocates of creation science and presents an analysis of these claims. This document lays out for a broader audience the case against presenting religious concepts in science classes. The document covers the origin of the universe, Earth, and life; evidence supporting biological evolution; and human evolution. (Contains 31 references.) (CCM)

In order to develop a complete theory of Earth origin, an understanding of the physics and chemistry of the solar nebula is required. What we need is for all of the pieces of the puzzle to fit together. As of now, they don't. We hope this book will help set the stage for the next generation of investigation and for fitting some of the pieces of the puzzle together.
