If Animals Could Talk by Werner Gitt & KH Vanheiden

CLV 2001 Edition


Master Books 2005 Edition


Click here to look inside the book

Summary: "If animals could tell us about themselves, using our scientific knowledge, if they could tell us about the way they live, the special way they are made and many details about their individual design - what they would say would be unique praise to the Creator."

Did you know that while in flight, the sparrow's heart can beat up to 760 times per minute?
Or that a baby blue whale grows at a rate of 7.28 pounds an hour while it's nursing, a grand total of 17 tons by the end of the nursing stage?
How about that glow worms have a light output efficiency of 100% as compared to only 4% for our incandescent bulbs?
Animals have very efficietn communication ststems, which they use to converse with one another. Nevertheless, they cannot speak to us in human language. The authors of this book have taken it upon themselves to act as their verbal representatives to tell us about some of their amazing features which only could be a result of design.

 Dr. Werner Gitt, one of the foremost creationist speakers in the world, uses his scientific expertise in this book to show the unique design features of some of God's most captivating creations. All people, young and old, layperson or expert, will be able to understand and enjoy this straightforward book. Told from the perspective of the animals being described, If Animals Could Talk clearly shows the impossibility of life without design. Dr. Gitt uses simple language to provoke a sense of wonder and awe at the marvelous design of the Creator.

Includes a look at two animals which have spoken (the serpant in the garden of Eden, and Balaam's donkey) and what message they brought. Also includes a clear gospel message.

And God said... by Dr Farid Abou-Rahme



Summary: This book is written with clarity and conviction to show that the facts of science do not support the popular theory of Evolution, but rather support the account of Creation given in the Bible. The book is in four parts: Science and the Bible; Creation or Evolution; Evidence for the Flood and Noah’s Ark; Written that you might believe. In these we are shown what it is that fossils, mutations, dinosaurs and radioactivity dating really have to tell us, and how the great Flood and its effects explain so much of the earth’s history. In addition we are frequently challenged as to our faith, and our faithfulness to the Lord and His revealed will. “and God said…” is a book which will “give an answer” to diligent enquirers and to vociferous critics alike. The view that science and the Bible are in contradiction is one that is without sound basis.
