up the concept of vitalism in favor of a mechanistic view of life, they left no doubt (if there was any before) that the second law of ther modynamics applies here as well as in the physical world. This is one of the most basic laws of nature, and the theory of evolution is con trary to it. Important parts of the book sum marize parts of The Genesis Flood, which he wrote in collaboration with Dr. John C. Whitcomb.

These two books deal with the re lationships between the Christian and science. The approach of Dr. Wolthuis is more philosophical than that of Dr. Morris, and he considers origins and the implications of the scientific method at some length. Some say that scientific truth is based upon facts alone and that re ligious truth is entirely a matter of fact. But this is not so, because the scientific method is based upon faith in the uniformity o f nature — that under the same circumstances the same cause will always produce the same effect. This is routine labora tory practice, but the trouble comes with the scientist incorporates this faith into his philosophy of life, for it denies the supernatural acts of God. Information about creation can come only through revelation, for it is beyond the scope of the scientific method. Science can only speculate about the chance origin of a purpose less world. The Christian learns from revelation that there was a creation with a purpose. Science has nothing to say about that purpose. In this age of increasing apostasy it may be considered weakness, as Dr. Wolthuis himself admits, that his book merely points out that Bibli cal scholars do not agree on what the Bible says about creation, in stead of warning his readers about the dangerous compromising which is going on. While he asserts that “ although we do not accept the evolu tionary theory as a fact, we would be quick to admit that it has been a productive theory in the area of biology,” he fails to contrast this with the untold damage it has done in the area of morals and Christian faith. Dr. Morris explains that the title of his book does not mean to imply that non-Christian men of science are giving up the theory of evolu tion. What he means is that scientific progress has made it more evident that Christianity may boldly oppose this theory and need not retreat be fore it or compromise with it. He points out that when biologists gave
