Chicago, Astronomy & Astrophysics Lines: 13 Xref: linus net.origins:2083 net.religion:6941 Most of the debates about creation/evolution focus on the incompatibility between "creation-science" and real science. However, a book I came across recently, *Is God a Creationist? The Religious Case Against Creation-Science*, ed. R. M. Frye, makes the case that 20th-century creationists' ignorance of their own religious and theological tradition is at least as profound as their ignorance of science. Having had some exposure to Christian theology in the past, I tend to agree. The book is a collection of articles by various theologians and scholars (and a Pope), and looks very good so far. All of the contributors accept the Christian doctrine of creation, BTW. Richard Carnes, ihnp4!gargoyle!carnes
