This excerpt from a creationist publication reviews various articles and books arguing against evolutionary cosmology and astronomy. The central theme is a critique of naturalistic explanations for the origin and development of the universe, favoring instead a biblically based, ex nihilo creation. The authors utilize arguments based on thermodynamics (specifically the second law and negentropy), the limitations of mechanistic models, and the inconsistencies within evolutionary theories to support their claims. The ultimate purpose is to bolster creationist views within the scientific community and to encourage further research supporting a young Earth and universe.
