More than just a sophisticated introduction to the historical debates about space, this book will serve as an excellent text for any philosophy of science class, as well as a valuable resource for researchers in the field.

Robert Pennock has provided a lucid, accessible, sensitive and complete refutation of the latest emanations from the Creationist camp, and all open-minded citizens should be grateful.
David L. Hull
Several very good books have been written responding to the quirky criticisms that biblical creationists tirelessly raise to evolutionary theory. Robert Pennock's Tower of Babel is the most detailed and comprehensive refutation of these criticisms to date. It is also a very good read.
