The New Creationism – Paul Garner

An excellent introduction to the basic issues and questions in creation science. Explores the origin of the universe to the ice age.

Universe By Design – Danny Faulkner

The universe was created with purpose and reason; and modern science with all of its experiments, exploration, and sophistication has never proven otherwise. In fact, as author Dr. Danny Faulkner makes plain, advanced science argues more for a created cosmology than a big bang. Written for the upper-level student through the well-read layman, Universe by Design explores the universe, explaining its origins and discussing the historical development of cosmology from a creationist viewpoint.

Devotional Biology – Kurt Wise

Dr. Kurt Wise designed this book to fully integrate a Christian worldview with the biological sciences. The result is a completely new way to approach biology.

Thousands…Not Billions – Don De Young

This book summarizes eight years of research by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and a team of scientists, whose goal was to explore the age of the earth from a biblical perspective. The project title was Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth, or RATE.

Hallmarks of Design – Stuart Burgess

The Design argument contends that design in nature reveals a Designer. This book presents this in the light of the latest discoveries about the complexity and beauty of the natural world.

Advanced Learners

Earth’s Catastrophic Past – Andrew Snelling

Step-by-step, Dr. Snelling examines evolutionary interpretations of the geologic record and deconstructs the misplaced assumptions and conclusions on which those interpretations are based. By the end of Earth’s Catastrophic Past, readers will have their faith restored in Genesis as real, literal history, and be convinced that the scientific evidence, correctly discerned and applied, is indeed consistent with God’s record of our origins and history found in Genesis 1-11.

Additional Useful Books

Faith, Reason, & Earth History – Leonard Brand and Art Chadwick

One of the best single-volume textbooks on creation science available. Great for high school and above. Explains how to understand science, then explores biology and geology from a creationist perspective. An excellent introduction to essential concepts. (Available as both a hardback and free eBook)

Creation and Change – Douglas Kelly

In this book, Professor Douglas Kelly persuasively argues for a literal interpretation of the six-day account of creation found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. He assesses both the biblical details and the scientific data to show that there is a convincing and scientifically viable case for this understanding. This new edition, written twenty years after the original, contains important revisions and additional chapters, bringing this insightful and relevant volume up-to-date with developments in this field
