Lately, we’ve been hearing a good bit about the battle of the worldviews. There is a struggle between those who believe in the religion of creation and the religion of evolution. (Yes, evolution is a religion, a belief, as it can’t be proven with observational science.) Many science texts state that evolution is a fact when it is not.

They are hardback books that have a leather look to them. The page edges are not smooth – instead, they look they they are torn and uneven. This helps with the older book feel.
