Several months ago I read The Lie: Evolution by Ken Ham. It had been on my book-wish list for a long time.

Ken Ham was born and raised in Australia. He was raised by parents who were devoutly Christian. Mr. Ham came to the United States of America in 1987. In 1993 he founded Answers in Genesis with Mike Zovath and Mark Looy under the name of "Creation Science Ministries. In 1994 the board of Creation Science Ministries changed the name to Answers in Genesis. Answers in Genesis is a ministry that seeks to show the reliability of the Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelations 21:21. He and his wife Mally have five children and four grandchildren.

The first printing of this book was in July of 1987. In January of 2006 the book had its 27th printing. The Lie: Evolution is published by Master Books. It contains 11 chapters along with 2 appendices.

The Lie: Evolution “deals with the relevance of a literal Genesis.” (Introduction, page 16) In the book Mr. Ham seeks to point out the many fallacies of the Evolutionary Theory. (Scientifically it is really a hypothesis!) Mr. Ham shows how a national belief in evolution has undermined our society. It has eaten away our foundations. The compromise of the church with evolution has been especially fatal. Instead of upholding Gods infallible word we (His church) have made people distrust the first chapters of Genesis. When that happened, people started to distrust the rest of God‘s Word. After all, if you cannot trust the beginning, how can you trust the end?

I really enjoyed the conversational style of this book. It is written as though Mr. Ham were just having a friendly chat with the reader.

This book is excellent and a real eye opener. I would very highly recommend it.
