Originally published in 1995, The Antievolution Pamphlets of
William Bell Riley is the fourth volume in the series, Creationism
in Twentieth Century America, reissued in 2021. The volume
comprises of nine antievolution pamphlets written by William Bell
Riley during the interwar years. The pamphlets detail Riley’s
antievolutionist ideas and activities, and the book attempts to
place the work in the larger contexts of Riley’s career, as well
as discussing the pamphlets included. The collection will be of
especial interest to natural historians, and theologians as well as
academics of philosophy, and history.
On May 28, 2007, the Creation Museum opened in Petersburg,
Kentucky. Aimed at scientifically demonstrating that the universe
was created less than ten thousand years ago by a Judeo-Christian
god, the museum is hugely popular, attracting millions of visitors
over the past eight years. Surrounded by themed topiary gardens and
a petting zoo with camel rides, the site conjures up images of a
religious Disneyland. Inside, visitors are met by dinosaurs at
every turn and by a replica of the Garden of Eden that features the
Tree of Life, the serpent, and Adam and Eve. In Righting America at
the Creation Museum, Susan L. Trollinger and William Vance
Trollinger, Jr., take readers on a fascinating tour of the museum.
The Trollingers vividly describe and analyze its vast array of
exhibits, placards, dioramas, and videos, from the Culture in
Crisis Room, where videos depict sinful characters watching
pornography or considering abortion, to the Natural Selection Room,
where placards argue that natural selection doesn't lead to
evolution. The book also traces the rise of creationism and the
history of fundamentalism in America. This compelling book reveals
that the Creation Museum is a remarkably complex phenomenon, at
once a "natural history" museum at odds with contemporary science,
an extended brief for the Bible as the literally true and errorless
word of God, and a powerful and unflinching argument on behalf of
the Christian right.
