Creation Science Book Review

The Beginnings Under Attack

Chapter 5: God's Way Under Attack

First Published 27 August 2005

In this chapter Sheffield discusses Cain and Abel, and he starts with a generic introduction to the story, which presents no problems for old earth belief. In fact, there are no claims whatsoever in this chapter that have any issues related to creation science, so feel free to skip to the Chapter 6 review.

Rebellion Instead of Repentance (Page 107)

Sheffield addresses no issues related to the age of the earth.

Sin Begets Sin (Page 108)

There is a minor jab at non-literal interpreters of Scripture, but aside from this, there is nothing other than a general discussion of Cain.

A Wayward Wanderer With A Wife (Page 110)

Again he presents no arguments against an old earth. He briefly mentions the problem of where Cain's wife came from, and here I agree with him. Critics of this issue have ground to stand on.

Descendants of Cain (Page 112)

A general discussion, with no claims about the age of the earth.

If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.
