The author, Milt Marcy, is a 66 year old businessman in Portland, Oregon, who has been involved in the Creation-Evolution debate for many years. Many probably know him for his work in the search for living specimens of creatures thought to be extinct by mainstream science. However, his interests were upon the whole spectrum of issues in the controversy. It became increasingly obvious to him over the years that there was more to the source of the conflict than what was being presented to the public, which was that the evolutionists were just honest scientists presenting their theories, which just happened to be diametrically opposed to what the Bible teaches, and that creationists were just religious fanatics that were trying desperately to hold on to the Bible as truth, even though they had no science to back up that claim. The further he got into the research for this book the more his suspicions were confirmed. There was a very powerful philosophical current pushing anyone not firmly anchored in the Bible and in apologetics toward a godless worldview that evolution, and later humanism, which is based upon evolution, was designed to support. In writing the book, Marcy sought out the opinions of many of his peers. Even though many of them did not have access to the mountain of information he had, they were not surprised by the conclusions to which he came.
