Author's Comments on "God at Ground Zero"

This is my personal experience account about how I began professional life as a believer in evolution, the ancient age of our world, and all that Science had to offer. After some 20 years of working in science laboratories, beginning in the World-War-2 Manhattan Project, I learned enough about the unprovable assumptions of historical science that I started to doubt. I began a long study of the actual scientific evidences (and how they contrasted with many of the conclusions of secular scientists). I finally rejected my former faith in Historical Science, and accepted the belief in "Young Earth Creationism." Of course, this had no effect on belief in technology. This book explains the underlying assumptions of both creationism and evolutionism. It discusses a number of real evidences that support belief that God's sudden Creation is a better explanation of our origins than is the secular belief that "things just slowly happened, by the action of the laws of nature." It also describes scientific evidences that tend to cast doubts on the truth of the materialistic belief-system. As a Christian, I believe the Bible to be historically correct. But the main arguments discussed in "God at Ground Zero" don't rely on the Bible for proof. They are, however, consistent with the Biblical account. The closing chapter develops several philosophical beliefs, and relates how the currently popular belief in materialism developed, and a little about how the liberal viewpoint of doubt toward the Bible came to be. I tried to write with young people and their parents in mind. My target audience is High School through Adult. My goal is to provide the information these students need to combat the agnostic teachings they often receive in universities. There's a lot of misinformation given out there. Statistics show that the transition from high school to college is often the time when students lose their faith in God, and I believe this to be a tragedy. I hope that "God at Ground Zero" might help students recognize the truth of God's miraculous Creation.

one of the best creationism books I have read

This humbly written book presents the thinking behind creationism and evolution with the admitted bias for creationism. So many creationist books arrogantly try to humiliate the evolutionists; however, Sewell presents the strongest case for creationism I have seen while demonstrating respect for the opposition. The personal testimony and appeal for surrender to Christ reveal the author's sincerity in revealing truth.

An exceptional book, from two points of view.

My friend, a christian, and I, an agnostic both enjoyed this book very much. From the christians standpoint, it affirmed what he knew all allong, and also revealed new insights into his beliefs. From the agnostics view, it proposed some very interesting theories. Some especially hard to contend. We think this book should be read by anyone interested in the origins of life.

Outstanding and eye-opening

This is a well done presentation using current scientific methods to discuss the factual (hard and fast) evidence supporting both evolutionism and creationism. Dr. Sewell presents the evidence with the detail and support worthy of his Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory nuclear physicist career. He summarizes arguments from both camps which commands the reader to evaluate his own under-lying premise -- namely, am I drawing a "conclusion" or supporting an "hypothesis" in light of the current evidence? Atheists and Christians alike will benefit from this quantitative scientist's presentation.
