Query: Not a well-argued defence of creationism (if there is such a thing!)

When I was a high school student, a religious great aunt sent me this book because she had heard that I was interested in science. Up to that point it had not actually occured to me to question the account of creation in Genesis. After reading this book, however, and considering its contrived arguments, I became convinced that the proper scientific explanations based on refutable conjectures (e.g. Darwinian evolution and modern astophysics) offered better explanations for the origin of the world. Ironically, this book helped lauch an intellectual journey that led me completely away from Christianity to the secular (or at most, Deistic) viewpoint that I now hold while working as a research scientist.
