If you’ve been around my blog for very long at all, you may know that I love the first few chapters of Genesis, including the creation account, Noah’s flood, and the tower of Babel. I believe that a proper understanding of these foundational chapters provide the structure needed to correctly understand the rest of Scripture.

My wife and I were very close to joining a creation-based ministry a few years ago, in fact. So this area is one that I am pretty passionate about.

If you were to look at my library in my office, you would see dozens of books and other resources on the topics of Genesis and creation. But somehow, The Lie: Evolution/Millions Of Years by Ken Ham is a book I missed along the way. When I was asked to review the 25th anniversary edition, I jumped at the chance to add this work to my shelf.

And I was not disappointed. Ken Ham, of Answers In Genesis, has done a great job presenting the deep deception that we are operating under when we accept the idea of evolution and millions of years of earth history.

Originally written in 1987, the new edition is revised, updated and expanded to keep it relevant to readers a quarter of a century later.

I was fascinated as I read The Genius Of Ancient Man.

I was sitting at a new coffee shop in Brooksville, FL, trying them out. I had decided to read some of this book while I was there. A couple of hours and several cups of coffee later, I closed the book, having finished it completely.

Needless to say, I was completely engrossed in it, from start to finish.

Don Landis, along with a team from Jackson Hole Bible College, has done an excellent job creating a concise account detailing some of the magnificent findings from around the world that do not fit the evolutionary premise that early man was primitive. In fact, artifacts and structures from around the world indicate that mankind was much more advanced than we give them credit for, possibly more advanced than we are today!

The Genius Of Ancient Man begins where any book about early history should, with a discussion of worldviews. Many of these artifacts are unexplainable by evolutionary premises. But a biblical worldview encompasses them nicely.

Before digging too deeply into my thoughts about the book, check out the official trailer:

The Genius Of Ancient Man is an excellent resource, filled with extensively researched information, and lots of fascinating photos, charts, and diagrams.

Landis and his team examine dozens of different examples, such as the importance of mountains to mankind, how it fits within a biblical framework, and how mankind attempted to duplicate them with towering structures all over the world, from the pyramids of Giza to Chichen Itza to Machu Picchu.

They look at the evidence that suggests mankind was extremely technologically advanced at the time of the dispersion from the tower of Babel. Exploring such topics as building methods, astronomy, and ancient artifacts discovered all around the world, Landis and his team show how mankind was able to accomplish significant feats that defy explanation in an evolutionary worldview.

With other chapters looking at the similarities in religious stories and legends, worldwide travel, music and art, and more, The Genius Of Ancient Man is full of astonishing findings that describe the potential that ancient man may have been able to reach.

Finally, the end of the book contains a list of biblical axioms; truths that should be understood universally, laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of God’s Word. That list, in itself, can be instrumental in educating people how to defend their faith. I know these concise principles will find their way into my teaching ministry.

Already, this book has become a frequently used resource for my personal study, and an excellent teaching resource for my family and ministry.

I suggest that you grab a copy today, and be prepared to spend the evening devouring it. I guarantee you won’t be able to put it down.

The Genius Of Ancient Man is truly evolution’s nightmare!

Even though I have a Kindle, as well as the Kindle app on my iPad, I haven’t been much of an ebook reader. I simply prefer to read the print version. I have nothing against the electronic format, it’s just my personal preference.

However, I recently was given an electronic copy of Ken Ham’s book Dinosaurs For Kids. The opportunities for sharing this book with my kids, especially my eight-year-old son, have been almost endless.

We have been reading and re-reading page after page from this incredible resource.

Detailing the existence of dinosaurs from a biblical perspective, instead of an evolutionary one, Ken Ham has developed a fascinating resource in the enhanced version. With dozens of pop up descriptions of different dinos and their lifestyles, Dinosaurs For Kids gives the reader more information than could possibly fit into the print version of the book.

Dinosaurs For Kids covers all aspects of the existence of dinosaurs, from creation to to fall, from the flood to the fossil record, Ham gives a concise yet detailed account of these magnificent creatures. He also helps to dispel some of the evolutionary deceptions surrounding dinosaurs that are too readily accepted today.

Dinosaurs For Kids displays vivid images, and gives tons of detailed information about some of the most fascinating parts of God’s creation. My family really enjoyed it. I’m sure you will as well.

My favorite dinosaur is the plesiosaurus, a long-neck aquatic dinosaur that has been reportedly seen in Papua New Guinea. What’s yours ? You can leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

If you are interested in readingDinosaurs For Kids, by Ken Ham, you can purchase the enhanced ebook at iTunes, or the print version at Amazon.com.
