The Genesis Enigma: Why the Bible Is Scientifically Accurate

About this book

An acclaimed paradigm-shifting evolutionary biologist shows how the biblical story of Genesis uncannily reflects recent scientific discoveries-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 under the heaven be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear"; "Let the earth bring forth vegetation"; "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life"; "God created the whales"; "And God created . . . every winged fowl." For thousands of years Judeo-Christian belief has accepted this progression as truth. And now thanks to recent scientific discoveries the scientific community does too (though without the mention of "God"). In The Genesis Enigma respected evolutionary biologist Andrew Parker explains each parallel between Genesis and science in detail-and the closer he looks the more amazing the parallels become. But the Genesis account has no right to be correct. The author or authors could not have known these things happened in this order and with the highlights science has come to recognize. Ultimately Parker argues it must be divine inspiration that guided the writing of the Bible. This startling conclusion will make The Genesis Enigma a must-read for believers and scientists alike.
