He has successfully defended crea-tionism before numerous university and scientific audiences and in formal debates with many of the nation's leading evolutionary scientists. This book (under its original title Evolution: The Fossils Say No!) has gone through several printings in its first three editions and has already been eminently successful in its mission of convincing men of the truth of creationism. In this new enlarged and revised edition with a new title to em-
