Harmonizing the Creation Week and Science

Many people lose faith in the Bible due to the disagreement between the Creationists and paleontologists. That is due to misunderstandings on both sides. Religion and Science seem to oppose one another on the topic of our origins. Whom can we trust? Whom shall we believe? This Book reveals a mistake that religion has made throughout the ages. A holistic approach shows that the Bible does not say that the universe existed for only 6000 years. The Bible shows that the earth is very old. The Bible shows that there were previous life forms before catastrophic life extinction events. We can prove a new concept concerning the Creation Week. Then again, Darwin formed his ideas on macro-evolution before he had the tools to make a proper scientific theory. He did not have an electron microscope. He knew nothing about DNA or RNA. His theory on macro-evolution was based on very vague overall observations and huge assumptions. With the knowledge of today and a correct understanding of the whole Bible, we can harmonize Theology and Science! The following chapters deals with this question: In chapter one we look at some assumptions made on both sides and discuss the question of whether the Bible shows an earlier life and a very old earth.First some background information. Who wrote Genesis one and to what purpose? There are some peculiarities that must be acknowledged. And we also face the fact of regular life extinction events.There are three possible viewpoints that Genesis one may fulfill, but one is surely the best fit.With these facts, chapter 4 describes the actual Creation Week in more detail.Chapter 5 looks at the uniqueness of the earth and how it can sustain life for a long time. There are many factors that God obviously found favorable to begin the creation of life.In chapter 6 we take a serious look at dating methods, and why they may be inaccurate in the long term.The Bible makes some surprising scientific statements. These can be shown as true if one looks beyond the average translation and people's assumptions.Now we can look at several scientific reasons why macro-evolution cannot be true. There are many unresolved issues, many loose ends.
In conclusion, we must consider that paleontologists also ask people to make a huge leap of faith in their assumptions. If we harmonize the archaeology with the Bible, we get the best solution as to our origins. Your faith in the Bible will be restored.
