Book Reviews of A New Look at the Old Earth: What the Creation Institutes Are Not Telling You About Genesis
Book Review: Eye-opening and liberating
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has been very helpful for me in furthering my personal study about Genesis and the Earth. After having been steeped for 20 years in young-Earth creationism, the arguments presented by Stoner finally allowed me to feel as though the Earth Sciences are not an inscrutible enemy to be avoided when possible and mocked when not. He addresses what passes for reason in the arguments presented by young-Earth proponents (the very arguments I've parroted) in a constructive, respectful manner. Thanks to this book in particular, I was able to take a year of Astronomy and a year of Geology in college without feeling as if every class session was an affront to faith.
The book is written from the perspective of one who accepts that the account of creation in Genesis is believable, so he doesn't spend time defending the validity of the scriptures. Instead, he assumes that his reader agrees on that point (most will, I suspect) and moves into clear and simple evidences for an old age of the Earth, including dating methods and their limitations.
This is a very readable book, and will unfortunately attract the hostility of some who are wedded to a particular interpretation of Genesis. I recommend it as a good starting place for others like me who are unhappy with the tension between the strident positions of some young-earth theologians and some atheistic scientists.
