Foundations of Creation: Volume 25

Every young person who takes their faith seriously will eventually face the hard questions — in a classroom, at a family dinner, on social media, or in their own mind at 2 a.m. — and in this indispensable closing volume of Foundations of Creation, those questions are met head-on with clear, honest, well-supported answers. Drawing on the full breadth of the twenty-four volumes that precede it, this comprehensive question-and-answer reference tackles the challenges young readers are most likely to encounter: Has science proven the Bible wrong? Aren’t creationists anti-science? Doesn’t all the evidence support evolution? How can we see distant starlight in a young universe? Doesn’t radiometric dating settle the question? What about transitional fossils, vestigial organs, ice cores, and tree rings? Does young-earth creationism make God a deceiver? What about respected Christian scientists like Hugh Ross, John Lennox, and Francis Collins? Isn’t young-earth creationism a fringe view? Each question receives a thorough, fair, and accessible answer, with pointers to the relevant volumes in the series for deeper study. The book closes with a thoughtful treatment of the Intelligent Design movement — affirming its valuable contributions while showing why the Bible alone provides the complete framework that science, history, and the human heart require. Every question has an answer. Every answer points to the same truth.

What is Foundations of Creation Volume 25 about?

Volume 25 closes the Foundations of Creation series as a question-and-answer reference for young readers who take their faith seriously and will face hard questions at school, at home, online, or in their own thinking. Drawing on the earlier 24 volumes, it tackles questions such as whether science has disproven the Bible, whether creationists are opposed to science, how we can see distant starlight in a young universe, whether radiometric dating settles the age of the earth, and how to interpret transitional fossils, vestigial organs, ice cores, and tree rings. It also asks whether young-earth creationism makes God a deceiver, how readers should view Christian scientists such as Hugh Ross, John Lennox, and Francis Collins, and whether young-earth creationism is a fringe position. Each answer points back to the relevant earlier volumes for further study. The book ends with a discussion of the Intelligent Design movement, crediting its contributions while arguing that the Bible supplies the complete framework that science, history, and human experience need.
