Creationism Revisited: 2020: A Defense of Recent Creation by an Agnostic

More about the book

This incredibly original work challenges both sides of the debate, offering a strong case for Young Earth Creationism (YEC) from an agnostic perspective. The author, James Stroud, articulates the viability of 'Recent Creation' through insights from natural and social sciences, while distancing himself from conventional YEC paradigms. Stroud demonstrates how creationism has advanced academically over the past 30 years, asserting its intellectual viability alongside progressive creation models (Old Earth Creationism, OEC). His unique, three-pronged approach compels readers to reconsider Creationism in a contemporary context. By critiquing both traditional YEC proponents and OEC colleagues, Stroud is likely to provoke strong reactions from both camps, encouraging a fresh examination of these longstanding issues. The text is accessible for lay readers yet thought-provoking enough to engage academics, making it a significant conversation starter. Stroud holds a BA in philosophy, an MA in history, and is pursuing an MS in Space Studies. He is affiliated with several scholarly organizations and has authored multiple works, including titles on naturalism, apologetics, and art philosophy. He resides in the Midwest with his wife and dogs.
