Summary: Excellent support for the historical straightforward view
Comment: Dr Kelly thoroughly documents from grammar and history that the correct interpretation of Genesis is the correct one. I'm amazed that some people can read this book and still claim that the young-earth view is some kind of 1960s novelty.
WRONG -- as Dr Kelly shows, it's the billions-of-years interpretation that's the novelty. No-one had thought of this before some conservative exegetes felt the need to harmonise with the views of Hutton and Lyell in the first half of the 19th century. Even allegorizers such as Origen and Augustine recognised that Genesis allows only for Earth to be thousands of years old. Dr Kelly cites people such as Basil the Great and Calvin to prove his point. Critics also ignore the 19th Century Scriptural Geologists, documented by Dr Terry Mortenson's Ph.D. thesis at Coventry University, UK, outlined on the Answers in Genesis site.

Summary: Another psuedoscientific young-earth emotional plea
Comment: Odd how the author leaves out how the vast majority of theologians now and always have thought young-earthism is ridicoulous. YECS like his good-time-buddy Jonathan Sarfati whom works for the wild and wacky Answers in Genesis, headed by the 20th Century's greatest mind, Ken Ham, seem to forget young-earthism only vaguely existed before the '60s YEC revolution.
Yes, their "plain meaning" of Genesis is a child-like reading of the book. Oh, the horror, and the embarassment of people whom don't understand science. Thank goodness the YEC movement is on the verge of packing its bags and returning to the outback.

Summary: Unique among creationist tomes.
Comment: Doctor Shedstrom's polemic can be disregarded. Whenever someone uses invective of that nature without giving credit to the thought, depth, or breadth of a book...then we may safely chuck his view for being off the rhetorical map. Young earth creationism is alive and well and Shedstrom's ilk should take anger management classes so they can discuss the pros and cons of creationism without hyperventilating. Is Kelly's book without flaw and inspired by the Lord himself? No...but it is still a damn good work.
