CHRISTIAN EVIDENCES

WHAT IS 'APOLOGETICS'?

Apologetics has to do with giving well reasoned answers for believing in Jesus Christ. The root meaning of the word is not to express regret - but to defend. A key New Testament verse is I Peter 3:15, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." The word translated, answer, (or defense) is apologian in the Greek text. Apologetics has two main divisions: evidences and polemics. Evidences has to do with giving positive reasons for believing in Christianity, and polemics has to do with responding to criticisms of Christianity. Green Leaf Press will sometimes use the heading Evidences in place of Apologetics, because it appears to be a more recognizable word for many people.

Ten Philosophical Mistakes Mortimer, J. Adler (Macmillan)

Dr. Adler points out that many of the (popular) errors of thought, with which we wrestle, trace to initially simple errors made by some of the greatest modern philosophers from the seventeenth century to the present. These mistakes lead to egregious errors regarding human and animal intelligence, the establishment of morality and ethics, and the reality of God - among others. Adler writes in the Prologue: "The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold." So wrote Aristotle in the fourth century B.C....At the very beginning, before the consequences are discerned, the mistake appears innocent and goes unnoticed. Only when we are confronted with the repugnant conclusions to which cogent reasoning carries us are we impelled to retrace our steps to find out where we went wrong." Mortimer Adler was one of the foremost teachers in America during the Twentieth Century. He has served as chairman of the editorial board of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and as editor of the Great Books of the Western World. He is the author of more than fifty books. Dr. Adler has been sympathetic to the Christian worldview for most of his intellectual life. He converted to Christianity In his early seventies.

Evolution: A Theory in Crisis Michael Denton (Adler & Adler)

One of the outstanding books in the English language that demolishes the theory of evolution as it is popularly presented. Dr. Denton is the Senior Research Fellow in Human Molecular Genetics at the University of Otago in New Zealand. He reminds us that the Darwinian theory of evolution requires almost an infinitude of transitional types to accomplish its hypothesized gradual development. Denton states, "The inter-mediates have remained as elusive as ever and their absence remains, a century later, one of the most striking characteristics of the fossil record." He emphasizes that the development of amino acids and the complex DNA and RNA molecules, essential to life, could not possibly have occurred by mere chance. The author writes, "It is surely a little premature to claim that random processes could have assembled mosquitos and elephants when we still have to determine the actual probability of the discovery by chance of one single functional protein molecule!"

Shattering the Myths of Darwinism Richard Milton (Park Street Press)

The author has been a science reporter in England for more than twenty years. He is astounded and bewildered at the closed minds he encounters in the scientific establishment to a rational discussion of the mechanisms of evolution. He states, "I accept that there is persuasive circumstantial evidence for evolution, but I do not accept that there is any significant evidence that the mechanism driving that evolution is the neo-Darwinian mechanism of chance mutation coupled with natural selection." He says further, "I am seriously concerned, on purely rational grounds, that generations of school and university teachers have been led to accept speculation as scientific theory and faulty data as scientific fact: that this process has accumulated a mountainous catalog of mingled fact and fiction that can no longer be contained by the sparsely elegant theory."

He emphasizes the absence of inter-mediate life forms - the limitations to change within species - and the virtual absence of empirical evidence for the development of one species out of another. This skillfully written book is for everyone interested in the evidential basis for evolutionary theory. ISBN 0-89281-884-0 Soft Cover 319 pages,
