It is generally assumed that evolution originated with Charles Darwin; the one-time-divinity-student-turned-naturalist atheist. That this assumption is false will shock and surprise many.Considered to be a classic work; The Long War Against God by the late Dr. Henry Morris; long an opponent of Christian Compromise with evolution; presents in riveting detail the very old plan to undermine God’s Word. Drawing from the text of the Greeks; Babylonians; and other ancient philosophers; Dr. Morris shows the path that has led to today’s neo-Darwinists; and how evolution - the philosophy of death - is in itself dying.Millions of Christians have seen their faith diminished and left fragile by aggressive arguments for evolution; but few know the true story of a belief system that seeks to ultimately eliminate God. Dr. Morris reveals within these pages this compelling story; and reiterates the power of scriptural truth.Discover why God couldn’t have used the inefficient; cruel method of evolution to createLearn how the Sermon on the Mount illustrates how God has nothing to do with “survival of the fittest.â€Has science proven evolution? Where are all the transitional fossils? What about “vestigial†organs? Learn the answers to these questions and more.

Must have book for any serious student of Mayan Archaeology and/or Ancient Mesoamerica.By Gino Antonio MazzellaBook is excellent and hard to get. i was glad to see it on . My only gripe is the format--i would have preferred a HARDCOPY Edition for my collection. Hardcopy or not ; this was a must for me.11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. An extensive analysis of the Maya pantheonBy Rafael KühnWorth every cent of its price; this probably is the most comprehensive study of Classic and Post-Classic Maya deities currently available. It covers all gods of the revised Schellhas list with an overview of the important characteristics; symbolism; assorted associations and temporal occurence; and also includes a chapter on deities later imported from Mexico. But be warned: This book assumes quite a bit of prior knowledge; and therefore features passages in all probability undecipherable for the beginner. Books you should at least have read before taking on this volume are "The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya"; "Aztec and Maya Myths" (both also by Taube); "An Introduction to the Study of the Maya Hieroglyphs" by S.G. Morley and Dennis Tedlock's "Popol Vuh"- translation; with "The Ancient Maya" (Robert J. Sharer) and "Breaking the Maya Code" (Michael D. Coe) also recommended. Due to this un-populist approach; it's a rather scientific (read: slightly dry) read; but the amount of facts presented here reduces this to a minor quibble. So; if you already know your tzolkin from your haab; and your Cholan from your Yucatec; and now want to expand your knowledge of the Maya pantheon; this is the book to read. Highly recommended.
