From the back cover -
Does modern science - while agreeing with Darwinian evolution, the big bang theory and the
complexity and deep age of the universe - prove the order of creation as described in the
Bible to be true?
It takes just one page in the Bible to describe the creation of the universe, the Earth,
the sky, the seas and all life on the planet. But a close reading will reveal that it is
written in a very odd order. Light is mentioned twice - in 'let there be light' and secondly
in 'let there be lights ... to divide the day from the night'. Early life is specifically
associated with the sea. Vegetation appears after 'let there be light' but before day is
separated from night.
In The Genesis Enigma Andrew Parker argues that the reason the Genesis account is
strangely ordered is, amazingly, that it precisely reflects the order of events as we now
understand them. The latest reinterpretation of Earth's ancient rocks and fossils and their
comparisons with animals today has completed our understanding of the history of the earth
and of life. By comparing the data of science with the words and phrases of Genesis 1-11 the
remarkable parallels become clear
In a fascinating and controversial scientific detective story Andrew Parker reveals how the
latest modern understanding corresponds in unerring detail with the creation account in
Genesis. His astonishing conclusions will revolutionise how many of us view the debate between
science and religion, and he asks the question: in a scientific world is there still a place
for God?
INTRODUCTION
Should get around to tapping out some of the Intro ...
Note: You can read these few excerpts on a computer screen but why NOT buy the book! Sitting in a nice, comfy chair with a printed copy is a much more pleasant experience ...

Should type up some of this chapter ... or just BUY it ... so far an excellent read going into the history of the universe & then life on earth and how the Genesis writers had ZERO knowledge like we have today ... I highly recommend the book :)

From my journal Nov 11 2009 -
Finished this book off ... very interesting read though I personally would say the greatest
evidence for God is love ... and human imagination ... a little tricky 2 believe that
creatures like us evolved from a single celled animal just by pure 'chance' over millions
of years 
In fact ... IF there is no God then all the copious religious literature over the centuries is just the product of human imagination ... that's probly MORE amazing than if there IS a God :)
Kinda reminds me of this piece I wrote a while back
