"Was the Universe created in 4004 BC? Was Jesus of Nazareth secretly married to Mary Magdalene? Were Jesus, Mary Magdalene, their son, and the Virgin Mary all laid to rest in a 'Lost Jesus Tomb?' Was the New Testament written by ignorant fishermen who lived long after Jesus and never knew Him? In this work, Dr. DuPraw provides a critical refutation of these and other absurd fictions recently published about Jesus Christ, often with the implication that they might be, or really are true.

In separate chapters, the author summarizes scientific facts about the rise of the dinosaurs 230 million years ago, their sudden extinction 65 million years ago, and the appearance of Homo sapiens 195 thousand years ago; he describes how little is known about the origin of life on Earth or anywhere else; and he proposes a useful concept called 'adaptive modification of species' or 'intelligent evolution.'"
