An amusing rebuttal of the points Von Daniken postulated and pointed out.
For true entertainment, read them back to back.
Unlike Van Daniken - neither the authors, nor the critics could manage to come up with anything for this book beyond a rebuttal to the effect of 'this is the currently established

on by Von Däniken with an ANTI-Däniken book. The author here, Clifford Wilson, is a Ph.D.'s academic and Christian apologist. This book takes on many of Von Däniken's claims, but in a haphazard, bouncing-around fashion. There is not much linking each chapter together, and Wilson goes off on tangents about himself. When he is taking on Von Däniken's lies, his inconsistencies, his logical failings, Wilson does an adequate job. But, this might be grating to many, he often references the Bible and its veracity and historical reliability, veering even into Christian proselytizing. This does not offend me, as a Bible-believing Christian, but it may turn off other readers, and it does strike one as odd. There are better books taking on Von Däniken's theories. But, I got this one for 50¢, so. Show Less
