Details: What do you say to your creationist friends? What do you think when they insist that you join them in defending the Bible by defending its first chapter as a science text? Is there really good scientific evidence for creationism? What do you say to your scientific friends? Is belief in God reasonable? Is belief in Genesis reasonable? And what about Noah? Was there ever a flood that really changed human history as a whole? The Catholic Church has wisely refrained from endorsing any particular scientific theory about these matters. At the same time, her love of truth has made the Church the natural home of good scientists all through history... including astronomers, who find the universe so old... including geologists who find the earth so old. This resource addresses the creationist cosmology from a unified doctrinal, scriptural, scientific and philosophical perspective. It is designed to invite Catholics to be the good scientists that they have been throughout history, with no fear for the honest conclusions of secular science. It has received a Nihil Obstat from the Diocesan Censor of the Sioux Falls Diocese of South Dakota. The updated version includes an essay on the Black Sea Flood. Let me say that I have seen several claims about floods that might have been "Noah's flood" and this is the first which really seems persuasive on many levels. It is very exciting.

STAA Notes: 4 part discussion; annotated bibliography, appendix (includes John Paul II on evolution), index.  From the publisher's website: "This book allows another choice to the Creationism-Darwinism dilemma.  The Catholic Church has wisely refrained from endorsing any particular scientific theory about these matters, but She does teach the unity of truth, and that is the emphasis here. This book carries a Nihil Obstat and an Imprimatur, which means it has nothing contrary to Catholic teaching."  St. Thomas Aquinas Academy uses this title and Christopher Baglow's "Faith, Science, and Reason" in multiple high school science courses.
