Book Synopsis
Offers an overview of why creationism fails with respect to the fundamentals of scientific inquiry. This title explains the basics of logic and rhetoric at the heart of scientific thinking, shows what a logical syllogism is, and tells how one can detect that an argument is logically fallacious, and therefore invalid, or even duplicitous.
