Contents:
The scientific case -- The biblical case I : animal death -- The biblical case II : the balance theme in Scripture -- The biblical case III : the Sabbath -- Concordantist science -- Interpreting Genesis 1 and 2 -- The flood of Noah -- Implications for theology -- Appendix: A literal translation of Genesis.
Subject: Young-earth creationism? Naturalistic evolution? Isn't there another choice? Yes, there is. Respected physicist and professor Dr. David Snoke argues that the Bible does tell us about the scientific history of our world, but it does not teach that the world was created recently. He offers a compelling biblical case that the young-earth position is theologically flawed. Drawing out the deeper themes of Scripture often lost in modern discussion, Snoke shows how the biblical texts as well as modern scientific discoveries are better explained by a day-age model. He argues that the earth is millions of years old-and created miraculously by God. Anyone interested in how science and faith relate and what the Bible says about the age of the earth will appreciate this readable, biblically grounded explanation of old-earth creationism.
