Customer Reviews

I like it but not completely satisfied.

The Beginning of Our Earth (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Book) Thank you NO creation story here! The information is presented as "No one knows exactly but people have ideas about such things". The story related is interesting, not exactly the Big Bang theory, but dust clouds and clumping bits of material sticking together to form planets. OK it's one theory. Not presented with any kind of reason WHY people have this particular idea. This book was written in 1972. Nearly the dark ages. Maybe there is an updated version and I would love to see what that one says. I am just happy it doesn't suggest creationism as one possibility.
