The Genesis Enigma: Why the Bible Is Scientifically Accurate Hardback - 2009

by Andrew Parker

An acclaimed, paradigm-shifting evolutionary biologist showshow the biblical story of Genesis uncannily reflects recent scientificdiscoveries-and finds room for divine inspiration within.Consider this: Genesis recounts the story of creation,step-by-step: "Let there be light"; "Let the waters underthe heaven be gathered together into one place, and let thedry land appear"; "Let the earth bring forth [vegetation]";"Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creaturethat hath life"; "God created the whales"; "And Godcreated . . . every winged fowl." For thousands of years,Judeo-Christian belief has accepted this progression astruth. And now, thanks to recent scientific discoveries, thescientific community does, too (though without themention of "God").In The Genesis Enigma, respected evolutionary biologistAndrew Parker explains each parallel between Genesisand science in detail-and the closer he looks, the moreamazing the parallels become. But the Genesis account hasno right to be correct. The author or authors could not haveknown these things happened in this order, and with thehighlights science has come to recognize.Ultimately, Parker argues, it must be divine inspiration thatguided the writing of the Bible. This startling conclusion willmake The Genesis Enigma a must-read for believers andscientists alike.
