The Long War Against God

I’ll admit, I approached *The Long War Against God* expecting another rehash of tired creation-vs-evolution debates. Instead, I got a book that *refuses* to play by the usual rules. Morris doesn’t just argue against Darwinism—he treats it as a *cosmic* deception, a tool to erode trust in Scripture. That’s a bold claim, and he backs it with a mix of geological critiques, historical analysis, and blunt theological assertions. Some of his scientific counterarguments feel dated (this isn’t a 2020s lab report), but his core question—*What if the real battle isn’t facts, but worldview?*—lingers long after the audiobook ends. Bob Souer’s narration is a masterclass in restraint. He resists the temptation to preach, instead letting Morris’s own conviction carry the weight. His tone is professorially precise, though I occasionally wished for more rhythmic variety during dense passages (the 30-minute stretch on fossil record interpretations could’ve used a touch more dynamism). The production is flawless—no distractions, just crisp audio that keeps focus on the argument. My two critiques: First, Morris’s dismissal of *all* evolutionary biologists as dupes or deceivers feels overly broad, even for a polemic. Second, the book’s structure sometimes loops back on itself, as if Morris is so eager to drive a point home that he risks belaboring it. But if you’re looking for a creationist work that doesn’t just *defend* Genesis but *goes on the offensive*, this is it—warts and all.
