And God Said... by Farid Abou-Rahid


This book has been written with great clarity and conviction to show that the facts of science do not support the popular theory of Evolution, but rather support the account of Creation given in the Bible. The book is written in four parts: Science and the Bible, Creation or Evolution, Evidence for the Flood, and Noah's Ark: Written that You Might Believe. In these sections we are shown what it is that fossils, mutations, dinosaurs, and radioactivity dating really have to tell us, and how the great Flood and its effects explain so much of the earth's history. In addition we are frequently challenged as to our faith, and our faithfulness to the Lord and His revealed will. And God said. . . is a book which will "give a new answer" to diligent enquirers and to vociferous critics alike. The view that science and the Bible are in contradiction is one that is without sound basis.
