Description

"Examining recent scientific discoveries, astronomer and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross explores the opening chapters in Genesis and shows how they hold some of the strongest scientific evidence for the Bible's supernatural accuracy. Navigating Genesis expands upon Ross? earlier book The Genesis Question (1998), integrating the message of both the Bible and science'without compromise'giving skeptics and believers common ground for dialogue." -- from publisher's website.

"Navigating Genesis" by Hugh Ross is an clear, accessible explanation of how the biblical book of Genesis, especially the creation and flood portions, fit comfortably with our current scientific understanding of space, time, geology, and biology. None of its science is controversial; science agrees

 with the Big Bang, the Cambrian explosion, the formation of the moon, the former state of the earth with an opaque atmosphere and water covered. The part that is surprising for both scientists and theologians is a detailed analysis of Genesis. Dr. Ross (he has a doctorate in astronomy) shows that the "days" of Genesis 1 are indeterminate periods of time and they correspond to the documented history of the earth. Using NASA satellite photos and recent geologic history, he shows the probable location of Eden and the Genesis flood.

Atheists and apologists will find much to interest them in this book. Aside from tying the Bible together with science, Dr. Ross also examines various views of Young Earth Creationism. I recommend this book for anyone interested in origins, the Bible, and science.
