Consider this: Genesis recounts the story of creation, step-by-step: "Let there be light";"Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear";"Let the earth bring forth [vegetation]";"Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life";"God created the whales";"And God created ... every winged fowl." For thousands of years, Judeo-Christian belief has accepted this progression as truth. And now, thanks to recent scientific discoveries, the scientific community does too (though without mention of "God"). / In The Genesis Enigma, respected evolutionary biologist Andrew Parker explains each parallel betwee Genesis and science in detail--and the closer he looks, the more amazing the parallels become. But the Genesis account has no right to be correct. The author or authors could not have known these things happened in this order, and with the highlights science has come to recognize. Ultimately, Parker argues, it must be divine inspiration that guided the writing of the Bible. This startling conclusion will make The Genesis Enigma a must-read for believers and scientists alike.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Intriguing, challenging, interesting.” Elie Wiesel, author of Night
“Jaw-dropping…An astounding work which seeks to prove that the ancient Hebrew writers of the book of Genesis knew all about evolution—3,000 years before Darwin.” Daily Mail (London)
“Parker, a popular science writer second to none in clarity and congeniality, has given us the single Darwinian bicentenary publication most liable to reconcile religion and science.” Booklist (starred review)
