- From the "At Issue" series: "Creationism vs Evolution"

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/073770795X/internetinfidelsA/" target="_blank">Creationism Vs. Evolution ed. Bruce Leone</a>

I found this book in the local library the other day; it is an anthology of selected writings (extracts from books and other writings), from Dawkins, Gish and others presenting both sides of the argument. I don't know if the editors made their own choice of material or asked the authors - it appears to be the former - but I think the range of material presented is well balanced and representative of both sides.

There's even a tragically flawed argument on 2LoT from someone who claims to be a physicist!?

The material is presented without commentary or bias, but sadly for the creationists the evolution side of the argument comes out a clear winner (imho).

I think this would be a very useful read for those new to the debate; ideal perhaps for a high school student or school board member!

Robert Pennock has a new book out. Having read and loved his Tower of Babel, looks like I might have to shell out $45 for this one.

Apparently Dembski is complaining about Pennock's inclusion of two of his essays. See Wesley Elsberry's <a href="http://www.antievolution.org/people/dembski_wa/wre_20020116.html" target="_blank">Comments on W.A. Dembski's Press Release of 2002/01/08 </a>
