The biblical account of the creation of the world at first glance contradicts scientific ideas about the history of the Earth and life on it. Attempts to “make friends” between the Bible and the theory of evolution have been made more than once, but it cannot be said that they were successful. Is it possible to combine faith and science without compromising both? Paleontologist Alexander Khramov offers an unexpected approach to resolving this ideological problem. Why are dinosaurs not mentioned in the Bible? Is it correct to say that God created the world through evolution? Are Adam and Eve related to Australopithecines and Neanderthals? Will archaeologists be able to find traces of the Garden of Eden? The author gives unusual and very encouraging answers to these and many other questions.
