As I studied the biblical scientific texts in detail, I came to a conclusion that was like an unexpected insight: the biblical narrative and the scientific account of our emergence are two complementary descriptions of the same identical reality. The purpose of this book is to explain this phenomenon to both a specialist and an ordinary person. Dr. Gerald Schroeder, author of Six Days of Creation and the Big Bang ...is it necessary for science today to continue to treat religion as an age-old enemy? Isn’t it time to treat it with more tolerance, recognizing that it has its own “ecological niche”? Perhaps the most important thing that the great and tragic 20th century, filled with the struggle against real and imaginary enemies, taught us... is that the general line to fight the enemy and defeat him ultimately leads to a dead end.A.
