Description.

Can creationists be effective scientist?

Leonard Brand says yes. In this patient and accurate explanation of the mission of science, Brand models his conviction that "above all, it is essential that we treat each other with respect, even if we disagree on fundamental issues."
One of Brand's goals is to present constructive thinking about origins and earth history--to show how to analyze the available scientific date and how to approach unsolved problems. If we have confidence in Scripture we don't need to be afraid of data, but can contribute to progress in understanding earth history. This is one of the first books on this topic written from the point of view of and experienced research scientist. A published biologist and paleontologist, Brand brings to this well-illustrated but a rich assortment of scientific examples. This book is used as a college text and appeals to the educated layperson as well.
