During my second year of college I heard about a fellow named Josh who was coming to speak. I had no idea who Josh McDowell was or what an impact he would have on my life. I was fascinated as he spoke with passion and intelligence about what it means to be a Christian. It wasn’t about emotion; it was about truth and Christ in the center of one’s life.

A few months later, after meeting some other Christians, I made a decision to become a Christian. This was not a flippant decision. I had a lot of questions. Some were being answered and some were put to the back of my mind. I was learning that Christianity is not frivolous but involves serious challenges to one’s thinking.

That summer I read Josh McDowell’s book, Evidence That Demands a Verdict. Here was a book with convincing evidence that the Bible is historically accurate. While reading this book I became very interested in evidence for the truth of the Bible and its Divine handprint (apologetics). I learned that the Bible is not some obscure religious book from the ancient past, but is God’s special revelation to humanity.

Since then I have graduated from a seminary, worked with teens, singles and as a church planter. For several years I have had a computer consulting business and with my computer skills I developed the CD-ROM, Evidence the Bible is True. I started writing an apologetics column in the Wisconsin Christian News. As I learned more about the creation/evolution debate I saw a need for a book that focused on just a few simple arguments. I wanted them to be arguments that average people could grasp and use to interact with those who are skeptical of the Bible. I was fortunate to gain the assistance of Frank Sherwin from the Institute for Creation Research. Frank, who has extensive experience with this subject, has made sure the book provided the best-known scientific data. This book is a result of our unique partnership.

Many people feel that evolution is science while creation is religion and thus not in the realm of science. However, few people seem to realize that evolution is primarily philosophy and not observable science. Macroevolution is not observed in the laboratory and cannot be tested.

The Bible is true both morally and concerning creation, as the arguments in this book will reveal. These four arguments shout that evolution is not true.

The rational mind will enjoy reading and interacting with the following chapters. The Introduction helps the reader understand some key concepts. The main chapters bring irrefutable evidence that macroevolution is false. Chapter 5 is a creative presentation on how to become a Christian. At the end of the book are appendixes for frequently asked questions and for helping to develop thought-provoking questions when speaking with those who believe evolution is true.

My hope and prayer is that this book will profoundly affect you as Josh McDowell’s book affected me.
