About This Book

The author critically examines geological reasoning for a successive ordering of life forms, arguing that stratigraphic and fossil evidence do not establish reliable age relationships between different fossils. He surveys historical assumptions and methodological weaknesses in geology, emphasizes abrupt, widespread and anomalous fossil deposits, and reads these patterns as the result of a single catastrophic event that reshaped climates and ecosystems. From this reconstruction he rejects gradual, genealogical explanations as inadequately supported by the geological record and advances direct creation and a revised inductive approach as better accounts for the observed fossil assemblages, degeneration trends, and the presence of familiar species at the crisis horizon.

About the Author

Price, George McCready portrait

George McCready Price

George McCready Price was a Canadian geologist and writer known for his critiques of evolutionary theory. He gained prominence in the early 20th century for his works that challenged the prevailing scientific views of his time. His notable books, "Illogical Geology, the Weakest Point in the Evolution Theory" and "Q. E. D., or New Light on the Doctrine of Creation," reflect his advocacy for creationism and his belief in a biblical interpretation of Earth's history. Price's writings contributed to the discourse on science and religion, influencing the creationist movement and sparking debates that continue to resonate in discussions of science and faith.
