Overview

Contemporary readers of Genesis have doubtless noticed discrepancies between the text and popular understandings of evolutionary theory. Not only was Genesis written long before Charles Darwin's contributions to science, but the scripture has its origins in a culture far removed from the twenty-first-century Western world. This distance, combined with the common assumption that the Bible has no knowledge to offer that science cannot provide, can lead one to conclude that expecting Bible's Genesis to yield clues to humanity's beginnings is misguided.This book Genesis tackles this misperception of the Creation story and rejects an assumption of animosity between science and religion. The author, a dedicated scientist and Catholic, uses the latest scientific knowledge while reading the scriptures with a deep respect. In this way, he avoids a literalist interpretation of Bible's Genesis and invites the reader to glimpse clues of scientific discoveries hidden within the pages of the biblical text.
