    Yes, I have! It is simply unreconstructed YEC and repeats all the old
    chestnuts (porkies) of moon dust, circular argument of geological column,
    decay of speed of light, false arguments for radiometric age dating, Barnes'
    socalled decay of the magnetic field etc. Infact all the old worhless
    arguments which have been refuted many times.
    Oddly the first chapter isnt bad and makes much use of Torrance Jaki etc and
    even Johnson. He should have realised or admitted that all these do not take
    Genesis lterally and thus are theologically up the spout.
    The theology is just assertion and wrongly reckons that Thomas Chalmers
    invented the Gap Theory in response to geology. Actually it was the dominant
    view from 1650 .

    Sorry to be negative but scholars should produce better stuff than this.
