Description: "This book is the first in a new series of studies from the Institute for Creation Research. Targeted at youth, this book by former evolutionary biologist Gary Parker looks at life sciences, digging into physical structures from early man to fossils. Discusses DNA, the artistic skills of Neandertal Man, and much more. Parker uses his popular teaching skills to focus on topics such as the chemical reaction between acids and bases, then zooms back out for the big picture: scriptural evidence that God created all.  By integrating his thorough knowledge of how the human body works with man's natural surroundings, Parker presents both a physiological and philosophical picture of our purpose on this planet. Includes study questions, discussion topics, and more"--Answers in Genesis.
