By methodically stepping through a series of ten sequential inquiries the author explores the evidentiary basis for explanations of human origins. Original arguments and unique insights systematically reveal the flaws of natural selection and build the logical case for reasonably believing that humans were created by the God of the Bible according to the Genesis account.
The logical arguments in Without Excuse support The Natural Selection Paradox which is included as an appendix. The Natural Selection Paradox holds that Natural selection did nothing to cause or explain any evolutionary change in any ancestor of current life forms. The included explanation fully supports this conclusion.
Scientific evidence confirms, as Romans 1:20 affirms, that God’s eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen and understood in the world by what has been made. Those who suppress this truth stand ‘without excuse’ for not glorifying and giving thanks to God as the creator of all things.
A Study Guide and Leader’s Guide can be purchased separately. The Study Guide is designed for group study and includes thought-provoking questions for each inquiry (chapter) in the book. The Leader’s Guide includes additional insight and answers to the questions asked in the Study Guide.
