Summary: An Important Contribution to the Body of Christ
Comment: Congratulations are to be extended to Dr. Ross for another fine work. He performs a tremendous service to Christians everywhere by showing that science does not destroy the Genesis account, but rather lends support for it. He is careful not to marry current scientific data to the Biblical accounts, but does show that they can be harmonized and that many current discoveries dovetail nicely with the Genesis record. I was particularly intrigued with his account of the Flood as well as the possible means God used to limit our lifespans via a supernova. I encourage every thinking Christian to read this book carefully and pass it along to their friends (especially those subscribing to the Gish/Morris literal 6-day creation interpretation). Dr Ross' ministry is having a great effect on the scientific community by demonstrating that the idea of a Creator is one that needs to be taken seriously. He is also having a tremendous impact on the evangelical community by bringing so many out of the ghetto of the 6-day literalists camp. He does it by presenting a balanced view of science and faith without sacrificing either our intellect or our committment to the truth of Christianity. Again, thank you Dr. Ross. CPT Curby W.

Summary: Just what I needed!
Comment: I can't tell you how many books I have bought to solve my inner science/faith contradictions, and have been left disappointed by them. This book was just what I needed! Science and faith CAN get along! I really thought Dr. Ross was clear and concise in his discriptions. I have also read Dr. Ross's book the Creator and the Cosmos - which requires a larger understanding of science concepts. I would highly recommend this book to any science thinking person who wants to know why they can proudly believe.

Summary: Good Science- Questionable Theology
Comment: Creation Scientist Ross has become famous for his zealous attempts to show congruency between scientific discovery (well, actual scientific fact anyway)and the Bible book of Genesis. He deserves credit for helping many people think twice about giving up on the Bible. Misunderstandings of scripture and materialistic philosophy (combined with subjective scientific interpretation) has casued many to assume the Bible contradicts real science. Ross' chapters detailing the sequence of creation events backed up by scientific findings are very useful in clearing up the misunderstandings. That the 6 creation "days" of Genesis 1 are long periods of time (day age theory) rather than literal 24 hour days seems very reasonable and the most likely meaning of the Hebrew word for "days" (yohm). He does, however, give too much credence to dating methods used to determine the age of the earth. They are not perfect and are prone to great discrepancies. Then again, the earth may just be 6 billion years old. It really doesn't matter much to the "day age" theory of Genesis.
I give this book only three stars because of some glaring fallacies in Ross' theology. For example: Ross says repeatedly he believes Satan and the demons sinned far ahead of God's creation of Adam and Eve. While the angel that became "satan" (meaning "resister") may have been developing a wicked inclination, there is no indication he had openly rebelled against God before he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first sin occurred when Satan told Eve that God had lied to them. Satan, using the "serpent" as a mouthpiece, directly contradicted God's warning that Adam and Eve would "positively die" if they ate from the forbidden tree. (Genesis 3:1-5). Satan told them they would "positively NOT die". This was the first lie and thus Satan had become the "father of the lie" according to Jesus (John 8:44).
Conversely, Ross believes that Satan and the demons had fallen and God went ahead with his creation of the physical universe (leading to Adam and Eve) to "do away with wickedness forever". This is false. Although God knew of the possibility of something going wrong when he gave spirit beings and man free will, it is unthinkable that he subjected the rest of creation to futility (Romans 8:20) so he could "do away with wickedness". God created merely out of love. He gave the gift of intelligent life to creatures that never before existed. Although God knew of the potential for problems with free will, it did not concern him because nothing could thwart his purposes from being fulfilled (Isaiah 55:11). After the sin in the Eden all creation was then sujected to futility because sin had now entered into the world. God purposes to "do away with wickedness forever" by means of the Messianic Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Adam and Eve would have lived forever in perfect health on a perfect earth had they not sinned. This purpose is still open to the rest of mankind. God's purpose has NOT been stopped by satan. There WILL be humans living forever on earth in a worldwide paradise just as God planned. (Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 45:18; Matthew 6:10; Psalm 37:29)
