About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Rieppel’s book fills a significant gap in the literature on creationism. … it is a scholarly consideration of the more subtle philosophical arguments underlying both legitimate science and ID. … the book provides a good intellectual perspective on the nature of scientific inquiry. Summing UP: Recommended. Large academic libraries, upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (B. E. Fleury, Choice, Vol. 48 (9), May, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
