Expanded and updated to account for the appeal of intelligent design and the global spread of creationism, \u003ci\u003eThe Creationists\u003c\/i\u003e offers a thorough, clear, and balanced overview of the arguments and figures at the heart of the debate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraised by both creationists and evolutionists for its comprehensiveness, the book meticulously traces the dramatic shift among Christian fundamentalists from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath. Focusing especially on the rise of this \"flood geology,\" Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the remarkable resurgence of antievolutionism since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled religious roots in the theologies of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and Adventists, among others. His book offers valuable insight into the origins of various \"creation science\" think tanks and the people behind them. It also goes a long way toward explaining how creationism, until recently viewed as a \"peculiarly American\" phenomenon, has quietly but dynamically spread internationally--and found its expression outside Christianity in Judaism and Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald L.
