Press Release: New Creationism book
Jason Spaceman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midnight in the Garden of Eden: Two Birds with One Stone
Author answers 'biggie' questions of life and religion.
Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 26, 2007 -- For the first time ever,
science has the answer to the age-old dispute between creationism and
evolution. Denis Towers, author of Two Birds ... One Stone!! 1.
Biblical Adam and Eve: Proven True; 2. Organic Evolution of the
Species: Proven False; A Scientific Study ... Scientific Proof
(paperback, 978-1-60034-899-0), answers the big questions of life that
have eluded men and women for centuries, relying heavily on both
Scripture and science to reconcile the two to one another.
Originally conceived nine years ago to answer the growing call for
help from spiritually struggling youth and adults, the work quickly
developed into something much more encompassing -- one capable of
answering all the truly big questions of life. Education today denies
what the bulk of Americans and other Westerners want, says Towers. The
percentage of the public who hope to have religion taught in their
schools is around 90 percent in English-speaking countries. Towers is
moving for a push in this direction with Two Birds ... One Stone!!
"The book is designed especially for Christian parents and students to
be able to disprove for themselves the so-called 'evidences for
evolution' that are pitched at them in order to shake their faith,"
says Towers. "This work hits evolution broadside."
Married with seven children, author Denis Towers served two church
missions and has served in different church positions since the age of
17. He is the inventor of a new concept in flight, foil art, three new
sports, three board games, a composer of sacred and secular music and
has retired unbeaten in two chosen sports fields. In 2004, he ran for
federal parliament.
Xulon Press is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than
2,700 titles published to date. Retailers may order Two Birds…One
Stone!! through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book
Distributors.

LIAR!
Lying makes it so easy for these chaps. Perhaps evolutionists should
try it - after all, we are all apparently atheists with no moral code,
it's not like we have to follow those ten commandments, eh?

This guy looks to be a master-class loon. If one goes to his blog at
http://godly-science.blogspot.com/ one discovers that the two "chosen
sports fields" that he retired from unbeaten just happen to be two of
the three that he invented. Anyone can invent a new sport, but
bragging about it on your resume seems more than a bit strange.

Sounds like a great deal, technically the value of my "knowledge" in
that aspect increases the more I pay you, wonderful, I'm nearly in
heaven already.

Our planet cannot afford to have people like him having 7 kids. Over
the next few centuries we must reduce our population considerably.

That's as may be, but attacking individuals with big families in the
complete absence of knowldge about that person or their situation is
just silly, leaving aside the hyperbole about being shot.
Someone whose ecological footprint is a tenth of yours may have seven
kids for reasons that do not apply to you (many developing nations have
no old age retirement pensions, and lots of kids is the only way to
ensure that one will not starve to death when you are old, for example).
Next, the real issue with overpopulation is at the population *level*,
and has more to do with economics and education than berating
individuals. Finally, if I had the money and a willing partner, I would
have had at least five kids - I just love kids is all. But if several
others in my circle have none, then it balances out anyway, so personal
attacks do not make much sense.

I was going to say "We shouldn't criticise this book without seeing
it."
Which we never will, unless there's a free PDF version, or someone
decides to buy it for a reason other than its intellectual merit. For
instance, if relax editorial policy on t.o nevertheless does
something that I strongly disapprove of, I may make a protest by
buying this book and giving it to a teacher.

You think there is some "knowledge about that person or their
situation" that can justify seven children?

Not a valid reason, it just generates an even large population of old
people in 60 years time.

The solution lies at the individual level. Yes, education is
important, but when it comes down to it the individual made the
choice.

Wrong question. The question *you* raised is, "is there some aspect of
having seven children that will justify shooting them?"
I can think of all kinds of reasons in which having seven children is
not a matter of culpability. For example - a sperm donor; or someone who
was unaware of the ecological consequences, or perhaps he has adopted
seven children. And that is only the surface of reasons why somone
should not be taken to be culpable. But suppose none of these were true
- and the person did so knowing the ecological impacts; why should in
every case ecology be the driving motive here? You and I share that
value, but he may be operating under the "outbreed infidels" meme that
among others Catholics share. Should all Catholics be shot?

No it doesn't. Get real - large families are most common in societies in
which the postnatal death rate of children is massive. A society that
has good child medicine tends towards smaller families over time, as the
west has demonstrated.
As to the comment about respect for the wife - surely that is itself a
bit patronising. Women have a part to play in this, you know, even in
underdeveloped countries.

So you believe. Why that is a justification for demeaning those who
don't is beyond me; but then I never got the whole infidel thing anyway.

Unfortuantly, that does not always include the right to say "No!".

I and four of my siblings hereby donate our unused quota to

sanity on raising kids.

Age-heavy populations like China and much of the industrialized
world will depend on imports of young workers and caretakers
from other societies (i.e., migration and temp worker programs).
There's a growing number of American retirees who go to young
countries like Mexico for cheaper personal care.
