The First Human by Ann Gibbons Every once in awhile a secular book comes along and hands believers the keys they need to expose the errors of evolution.  This is one such book as inside its pages are countless situations which expose the counterfeit ways evolutionists use to promote and prove their theory. This is a well written book and provides a great historical overview from Louis Leakey on down to the present showing their efforts, their jealousies, their deviousness and their faulty analysis.  It also exposes the weak dating methods and how circular reasoning is actually involved with putting early dates on skeletons even though they are found near the surface of the earth. Well worth the time and money to read it as it isone of those rare evolutionary books which is very interesting and informative ,letting the reader in on the 'inside' of evolutionary pursuits. Published in 2006 so you know thatthe information is up to date and easily verifiable.   Biblical Creationism by the late Dr. Henry Morris I am going to do a rare thing here and put 2 books on the same page as there is not much to say about each of them except praise and they both dealwith the same taopic- the origins of man.  This book is a very well laid out resource for any creationists as they do not have to comb the Bible for all the references God made to His creative act.  Dr. Morris has done the work for you and has put them into chapters per book iof the Bible making the references easy to find. In the first appendix Dr. Morris also includes extra-biblical references to creation helping the creationist support their arguments with more than just scripture.  even though scripture is all we need, the non-believer looks for confirmation outside of the Bible to convince them. Again this is a very helpful reference book making discussing and supporting creation a lot better.  There are many good books out there on creation but this is the only one i know of which lists all the scripture references in one volume.
