The Genesis Enigma: Why the Bible is Scientifically Accurate

Dr. Andrew Parker

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, sky, 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 night’. Whales appear before birds. 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, 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 asks the question: in a scientific world is there still a place for God?
