Publisher Description
A ground-breaking book that takes on skeptics from both sides of the cosmological debate, arguing that science and the Bible are not at odds concerning the origin of the universe.
The culmination of a physicist's thirty-five-year journey from MIT to Jerusalem, Genesis and the Big Bang presents a compelling argument that the events of the billions of years that cosmologists say followed the Big Bang and those of the first six days described in Genesis are, in fact, one and the same—identical realities described in vastly different terms. In engaging, accessible language, Dr. Schroeder reconciles the observable facts of science with the very essence of Western religion: the biblical account of Creation.
Carefully reviewing and interpreting accepted scientific principles, analogous passages of Scripture, and biblical scholarship, Dr. Schroeder arrives at a conclusion so lucid that one wonders why it has taken this long in coming. The result for the reader—whether believer or skeptic, Jewish or Christian—is a totally fresh understanding of the key events in the life of the universe.
Customer Reviews
A brilliant justification of theology and science
I have often felt that as each discovery of science seems to take us firther from the center of the universe, we have come closer to understanding God's creation. The author does a brilliant job of describing how Science and Theology describe the same events from differing points of view. Of particular interest is the discussion of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, time dilation and the six days of creation. And while I have read some criticism of his thesis from both science and theology, none of those criticisms have dented the spark of brilliance in his argument. It is a line of thought and query which deserves review and refinement. I found the book challenging and engaging with the discussions of Cosmology and Physics explained in a manner accessible to all and Theological equally well discussed without being talked down to. Worth the read....
